| #geojson conversion | |
| function shp2geojson() { | |
| ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON -t_srs crs:84 "$1.geojson" "$1.shp" | |
| } | |
| #unzip all files in a directory | |
| for var in *.zip; do unzip "$var";done | |
| #convert all shapefiles | |
| for var in *.shp; do shp2geojson ${var%\.*}; done |
Heres a simple one liner if you already have a folder containing all the .shp that you want converted. Just cd into the folder containing the shapefiles and run this:
for filename in ./*.shp; do mkdir -p geojson; ogr2ogr -f "GeoJSON" "./geojson/$filename.geojson" "$filename";done
Install gdal if you get a ogr2ogr command not found error: https://gdal.org/download.html
