gzip-size.sh
# want to quickly see how large (in bytes) a file is after we gzip it, without actually gzipping it
# on command line, running the following does the trick: gzip -c file.js | wc -c
# we can add this little bit to our .bashrc so we can instead just type gsize file.js
gzipSize() {
gzip -c $1 | wc -c
