About:
Titlecase is a command-line utility that reads plain text from standard input and converts it to title case, capitalizing the first letter of each word. It intelligently handles common exceptions like small words (a, an, the) and acronyms, providing a more polished output than simple capitalization scripts. This tool is ideal for automating text formatting tasks in shell scripts and build pipelines.

Key Features:

Intelligent capitalization of the first letter of each word
Configurable handling of small words and exceptions
Lightweight and fast execution via standard input/output
Easy integration into shell scripts and automation workflows

Use Cases:

Standardizing titles for blog posts or documentation headers
Formatting text output in automated shell scripts
Cleaning up metadata for media files or software packages

Alternatives:

awk 'BEGIN{...}' – Built-in shell commands can handle basic capitalization but lack the sophisticated exception handling of Titlecase.
Python/Perl scripts – More powerful but require a runtime environment and are heavier than this standalone script.
