Might as well make it safe for filenames beginning with -
- An easy one-liner in POSIX-compatible shells:
- ```
for f in *-min.jpg-*; do mv "$f" "${f%-*}"; done- ```
- The only (mildly) tricky concept here is `${f%-*}`, which expands to `$f` minus the shortest suffix matching the glob pattern `-*`.
- An easy one-liner in POSIX-compatible shells:
- ```
- for f in *-min.jpg-*; do mv -- "$f" "${f%-*}"; done
- ```
- The only (mildly) tricky concept here is `${f%-*}`, which expands to `$f` minus the shortest suffix matching the glob pattern `-*`.

An easy one-liner in Bash and Bash-compatible shells:- ```
- for f in *-min.jpg-*; do mv "$f" "${f%-*}"; done
- ```
The only (mildly) tricky concept here is `${f%-*}`, which is a Bashism representing `$f` minus the shortest suffix matching the glob pattern `-*`.
