Scripts for renaming of attributes of geospatial files. It is a wrapper script around the GDAL/OGR ogr2ogr command line utility. To rename attributes, supply the following positional arguments:

• <input_file>: input file that needs attribute renaming
• <output_gpkg>: output GeoPackage with renamed attributes
• <mapping>: mapping file with each line containing: ${old_attribute_name}\t${new_attribute_name}, see the example folder. Every attribute of the input file needs to mapped, otherwise the attribute will be omitted in the output GeoPackage
• <layer_name>: target layer in the input file
• <optional:ogr-arguments>: pass optional arguments for ogr2ogr, for example set the new layer name in the output GeoPackage -nln new_layer_name

For example:

./map-attributes.sh /vsizip/example/sample_shape.zip sample_shape sample.gpkg example/mapping.txt -nln new_layer_name

Requires GDAL/OGR to be installed and the ogr2ogr command line utility needs to be available in the $PATH (environment variable), see gdal.org.
