Are there any TUI apps you recommend outside of ncdu / nnn / htop / vim / bat / fd / tig / duf?
Ahh. Will give it a go then. Also, if you are interested in writing the config in Python, checkout invoke. I find it a bit more flexible as you can change/tweak the sequence based on environments.

Build tool for small project /w PyCharm integration
invoke is great as it's a Python package so can be installed with your dependency manager of choice as a development dependency.

Python Invoke tasks for Docker using Git Bash not working on a Windows system
Trying to research this problem, it seems there's some issues with pty=True and winpty. I already followed the suggestions of including winpty, changing pty to false, and still nothing. Furthermore, looking for this error online doesn't really pop up anything of help.

TypeScript's Successor is Waiting, and You'll Never Want to Turn Back
Under the hood, Rescript uses a build system called Ninja. Ninja is similar to Make, but cross-platform and more minimal/performant.
- Using Make – writing less Makefile

Ask HN: What outdated tech are you still using and are perfectly happy with?
Really? I thought most new projects were switching to ninja[^1] and have never used it.

Installer script for CMake, Ninja, and Meson
I thought I would share my custom installer script for the latest GitHub versions of CMake, Ninja, and Meson.

Building and Running Pidgin and Finch 3
Now that you have your build system all generated you can go ahead and build everything. By default Meson will use Ninja as the build tool. Ninja is similar to Make but much much faster. You can also generate additional build systems but that's outside of the scope of this post.

Is there any way to configure my project so I can work on it on both Windows and MacOS?
There are also some other tools like https://ninja-build.org/ that you might prefer using instead

Bitdefender blocked Explorer.exe and Ninja.exe has been quarantined
I got Ninja from https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja, latest release. I'm assuming this is a false positive?

Just: A Command Runner
Oh excellent, then better (and more portable!) tools are available:
http://pants.build
https://ninja-build.org
https://buck.build
and, if you hate yourself: https://bazel.build
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Invoke and ninja you can also consider the following projects:
doit - task management & automation tool
meson - The Meson Build System
Nox - Flexible test automation for Python
