sips: Resample all images in a directory to fit a width of 960px (honoring aspect ratio).
$ sips --resampleWidth ${960} ${path-to-images}
try on your machine

The command you provided is using the sips (Scriptable Image Processing System) tool in macOS to resample the width of images located in a specific directory.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • sips: It indicates that we are going to use the sips command-line tool.
  • --resampleWidth: It specifies the action we want to perform, which is resampling the width of the images.
  • ${960}: It is a placeholder indicating that the width of the images will be resized to a value of 960 pixels. You can replace this value with any other desired width.
  • ${path-to-images}: It is another placeholder representing the path to the directory where the images are located. You need to replace this with the actual path to the directory containing your images.

To execute the command, you would replace ${960} and ${path-to-images} with the appropriate values and run it in your terminal. It will then resize the width of the images in the specified directory to 960 pixels using the sips tool.
