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.Even better, there is ripgrep-all that can also search in binary files like PDFs and office documents: https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all
k9s is a game changer

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 have mostly replaced all command line stuff with Emacs, but there are still a few CLI utilities that I continue to use, whether I am in the CLI directly or whether I am using Emacs:
tmux
orscreen
(terminal multiplexing)bash
(shell scripting)grep
,sed
(filtering, formatting)ps
,pgrep
,pkill
(process control)ls

,nc
,rsync
,sshfs
,sftp
(remote access, file transfer)tee
,dd
(pipe control)less
,emacs
,diff
,patch
,pandoc
(text editing)man
,apropos
(manual)tar
,gzip
,bzip2
,xz
(archiving)hexdump
,base64
,basenc
,sha256sum
(data encoding, checksums)wget
