Big fan of commandline tools such as vim, htop etc. What is in your opinion must have tools?

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.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
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 thanvim
could ever be.I found lua to be a better programming language, but the text specific design of vimscript makes way more sense to my brain.
I mentioned this in another post, but tmux is awesome
Love k9s! I just pull dnit down and used it again today.
k9s is a game changer
- gcalcli : helps accessing google calendar using calendar api
- neix : rss reader

ranger
andmc
- both are file managers, and their approach is so different that I choose one of them I need at the moment depending on what do I want to do (mc
for traditional file management,ranger
for looking around the directory tree and peeking into files)htop
,tmux
- classicsweechat
,profanity
- for my IM needsripgrep
- for searching through filesmagic-wormhole
for file and ssh public key exchangemosh
for when the network conditions aren’t idealnmap
to see if that machine I’ve connected into the network is up and what IP did it getbat
for quick looking into filesgdb
, with mandatory gdb dashboardnvim
for serious text and code editing,micro
for more casual editing
I am thoroughly enjoying using mcfly.
I really like
entr
- “Run arbitrary commands when files change”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.
