Changes are documented, and include this README. Image Guard supports additional file formats—WebP, AVIF, and HEIC/HEIF—, comes with improved code and documentation, and is being maintained. For this reason, it’s not based on any Imagemin packages anymore.) Image Guard takes care of near-lossless compression of your images, to help you avoid bloat in your repositories. It makes it convenient and as safe as possible to automatically compress PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, and AVIF images. It can also convert HEIC/HEIF files to AVIF. It’s convenient because setup is simple. Run it right away—done. Or install, run, add hook—done. It’s as safe as possible because compression happens losslessly (near-lossless for JPG and GIF images). That allows you to stop worrying about forgetting to compress images, but also about sacrificing too much quality. (You can take care of additional optimizations manually or through other tooling.) Installation and Use (Note available parameters below.)
