gcode-comments command-line tool (CLI)

In case it's useful, I've created a command-line tool (CLI) in Node.js/JavaScript that will create a commented version of a GCODE file. It will add one comment per line which isn't already a one-line comment itself.

Assuming that you have Node installed on your computer, you could put this script somewhere that's in your path and then just...

Code:

$ gcode-comments file.gcode

;FLAVOR:RepRap

;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 2.3.1
M104 S205                                         ; Set extruder temperature
M109 S205                                         ; Set extruder temperature and wait (blocking)

...

Input:   file.gcode
Output:  file_commented.gcode

...and it will do the rest.
