*	docs: document base ffmpeg arguments passed before preset ffargs	Dennis Fink	2026-02-22
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Both the README and the man page now explain that the script always passes -map 0, -map_metadata 0, -map_chapters 0, and -c copy to ffmpeg before appending the preset's ffargs array. This context is important for preset authors, who only need to override the streams they intend to re-encode. Also fix a minor blockquote rendering issue in the README (missing blank line before the fenced code block in the PATH note).
*	feat: initial release of transcode.sh v1.0.0	Dennis Fink	2026-02-22
	Batch transcode helper for media files using ffmpeg. Encoding parameters are supplied by user-defined preset files (shell snippets that set an `ffargs` array) stored under ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/transcode.sh/presets/. Key capabilities: - Probes input codec and pixel format via ffprobe; derives an output pixel format that preserves chroma subsampling and bit depth. - Per-user and per-invocation codec skip lists to leave already-encoded files untouched. - Atomic in-place replacement: encodes to a temp file in the same directory, then renames on success. - --only-if-smaller: discard the result if it is larger than the original. - --saving: append filename, original/new sizes and percentage saved to a log file after each successful encode. - --dry-run, --verbose, --quiet, --nice and --continue flags. - Respects the NO_COLOR standard. - Script hardening: strict PATH, safe IFS, errtrace, nounset, pipefail. Also included: - Man page (transcode.sh.1) - Bash completion script (transcode.sh.bash-completion) - README.md - .gitmessage commit message template License: BSD-3-Clause
