atty VS modern-unix

That said, there's a recent question about maintenance status and a fork with some changes, so you could switch to that if you're worried.

Maybe start with the atty crate? Ultimately this is an OS question more than a Rust question, and it depends on what you mean by "any stdout was piped". For example, do you want to be able to tell the difference between

That likely only works on a Windows console. For tools like this, you also want to handle cygwin, and that requires crazy hacks: https://github.com/softprops/atty/blob/7b5df17888997d57c2c1c8f91da1db5691f49953/src/lib.rs#L116-L154

- Learning "modern" tools like ripgrep and fzf (There's a list here: https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix)

Nedavno mi je dobro dosla ova kolekcija toolova za unix https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix

A lot of the tools in the post build on top of standard unix tools and are like for like (better) replacements. Many of them have been pulled from the Modern Unix repo on Github.

Plug to modern unix, a collection of utilities that modernize "standard" nix utilities (combination of faster, prettier, easier to use, as well as sensible defaults like highlighting and line numbers when not piped).

I google something like "Modern Unix", open blogs, and try to find a "life-changing" tool that I haven't tried yet. Then I spend 1 day reading man how to apply this unreal tool to my current work environment setup. Ultimately, I'm sad because I wasted 1 day, but the process is fun enough to do it again tomorrow. This is like distro-hopping but tool-hopping. Now I have fzf, bat, helix, zoxide etc, but that's just the beginning of my tool-hopping :)

While this is not at all comprehensive of all the cool tools out there, there's this list which has a lot of modern alternatives to all of the modern Unix commands we know and love, most of which are written in Rust.

You might want to take some inspiration from https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix too! Neat website

Yeah, fine, since Go and Rust it is common to have this "one file app" that you put in $PATH and call it a day. Now, how many of those are not a single CLI utility (e.g. a replacement for top/ls/du or other UNIX utility), and are full blown GUI app? Not so many. None that I can think of from the top of my head, actually.

The UDM Pro looks nicer with modern Unix tools! Commit adding the tools (leveraging UniFi OS Utilities): GitHub commit adding the tools.
