Unix Tools
4-23-2022
I want to continue to grow and be more familiar with the unix / linux toolset. I think there is great value in learning the tools that exist on any linux machine, but I think it's also worth exploring new tools. Here are some of the newer tools that I'd like to use more often.
Tool | Alias | Purpose |
---|---|---|
bat | Nicer file reading (cat) | |
bottom | btm | Graphical system usage (top) |
duf | Graphical DF | |
dust | Graphical DU (disk utility, I think) | |
fd-find | fd | Fast and intuitive find |
glow | Markdown rendering on the terminal | |
httpie | http | Easier curl |
jq | Parse JSON | |
jc | Convert many tools to JSON for easier parsing | |
lsd | Nicer LS | |
mcfly | Bash history; I'm having trouble to get it working on wsl | |
mosh | Resilient SSH | |
navi | Cheatsheet tool | |
procs | Graphical ps alternative |
