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
ripgrepand just plain grep?ripgrepis a reimplementation ofgrepin 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 anythingand it finds anything
k9s is a game changer
Love k9s! I just pull dnit down and used it again today.
Ncdu is a really useful little utility that shows you what directories are using the most space on whichever drive/directory you select. Really useful little piece of software.
hdparm is another neato one that let’s you test the read speeds of your drives, though it’s more so something ya use once and forget exists.
Also, though Neovim is more popular, Helix deserves some recognition. It’s a rust based, vim inspired text editor which removes the need to configure it, making it easier for people trying to get into terminal text editors.
Edit: Jerboa removed the first name, my bad.
yt-dlpRanger and/or vifm as file managers. Can’t live without them
off the top of my head:
- vim
- git
- bash
- make
- whatever-compiler-im-using
- curl
- less
- grep
I basically live in
nvim. Being able to configure my editor in an actual programming language makes it so much more useful to me thanvimcould ever be.I really like
entr- “Run arbitrary commands when files change”zoxide, makes file navigating so much easier.
btop is gorgeous ofc.
cheat, for cheat-sheets.
- gcalcli : helps accessing google calendar using calendar api
- neix : rss reader
- I don’t know if it counts but : fish shell
I mentioned this in another post, but tmux is awesome
