CSSMIN(1)

✨ cssmin(1) — the User Commands glow-up ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is the manual page for cssmin, the YUI Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) compressor. it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and it is genuinely so good at what it does.

🦋 NAME 🦋

cssmin — YUI Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) compressor

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cssmin [--wrap N]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the vibe: it reads raw CSS from stdin, and it writes compressed CSS to stdout. that's it. that's the whole thing. in goes the chunky CSS, out comes the skinny CSS. iconic behavior, no notes 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --version — shows the program's version number and then dips out (exits). a little "who am i" moment ✨
• -h, --help — shows this help message and exits. your friendly little map of the place 🫶
• -w N, --wrap=N — wraps the output to approximately N characters per line. key word approximately, so don't come for it if the line lengths are a lil off, bestie 😭

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

combining several CSS files into one compressed output

cat file1.css file2.css file3.css | cssmin > output.min.css

yes, pipe them all in and let cssmin do its thing. three files in, one tiny file out. slay 💖

compressing one CSS file while keeping line length to approximately 1000 characters

cssmin --wrap 1000 < input.css > output.css

look at that < and > redirect energy. --wrap 1000 keeps things readable-ish while still being compressed. obsessed ✨
