xtend is a simple tool to help add or remove file extensions.
I started this tool because I needed to change the file extension for certain files, so that another tool stops detecting them when I needed to test something and restore the old extension when I'm done.
This is relatively simple for single files, but if you need many of them it gets a bit more tricky. There are plain unix ways to do it, but those are hard to remember and more error prone.
With this tool I can just do something like this: ```sh
xtend toggle bak test.txt
``
and if the file is namedtest.txtit will get renamed totest.txt.bak,
if it's namedtest.txt.bakinstead, it will get renamed totest.txt`.
