How to rename a bunch of files in a directory to be param-case with the hyphen?
Here's one that does it in JavaScript, but I'm not sure how to go about this in bash.

Below is an option in bash:
for file in ./* ; do mv "$file" "$(echo $file | sed 's/\(.\)\([A-Z]\)/\1-\2/g' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')" ; done
An alternative with perl:
for file in ./* ; do mv "$file" "$(echo $file | perl -ne 'print lc(join("-", split(/(?=[A-Z])/)))')" ; done
