Big fan of commandline tools such as vim, htop etc. What is in your opinion must have tools?
fzf for quickly matching file names especially deep in the directory hierarchy
ripgrep for quickly searching for text content within files
dtrx for handling the right extractions of different archive types
What is the difference between
ripgrep
and just plain grep?ripgrep
is a reimplementation ofgrep
in Rust. It benchmarks faster for large file searches and also comes with quality of life features like syntax highlighting by default.It also ignores files in .gitignore and some others by default
It also has a much simpler and forgiving syntax. Just type
rg anything
and it finds anything
I basically live in
nvim
. Being able to configure my editor in an actual programming language makes it so much more useful to me thanvim
could ever be.off the top of my head:
- vim
- git
- bash
- make
- whatever-compiler-im-using
- curl
- less
- grep
I really like
entr
- “Run arbitrary commands when files change”- gcalcli : helps accessing google calendar using calendar api
- neix : rss reader
- I don’t know if it counts but : fish shell
argos-translate for offline machine language translation.
tmux & neovim for editing files and organizing the terminal displays.
asciinema for recording and playing back terminal sessions.
xclip
is incredibly useful to get and set data from the clipboard!gopup
is to html whatjq
is to JSON. It allows you to parse html to extract specific data for a given selector.zoxide, makes file navigating so much easier.
btop is gorgeous ofc.
cheat, for cheat-sheets.
Ranger and/or vifm as file managers. Can’t live without them
