My 2023 Terminal, Shell and Command-Line Toolbox
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.

TIL you can do `cat -n file` to easily see line numbers when looking at a file
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).

What are some things you can do in the terminal for entertainment?
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 :)

erdtree: A modern, multi-threaded, and ️🌈aesthetic️🌈 alternative to tree and du - v1.7.0 release ️
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

LeanCreator - a lean, cross-platform, single file IDE for C/C++
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.

Clean mount lists in Linux
Also `dua`[0] is a great `du` replacement which is must faster on modern NVMe drives. Also has an interactive mode `dua i` which I'd frame as a `ncdu` replacement.

Erdtree v1.4.1 - the love child of `tree` and `du`, now with support for a configuration file to override defaults and more
Yeah erdtree won't scratch that itch if you prefer interactive apps. I personally wanted something to just give me quick visual info without spawning an entire terminal UI and learning its quirks. But if you're an ncdu person and are in the mood for a modern alternative I'd recommend checking out Dua

erdtree v1.2.0, a modern multi-threaded alternative to `du` and `tree` now with support for globbing, icons, and more
Thank you! And totally understandable. erdtree won't scratch that itch for folks who have a penchant for interactive terminal apps. As I mentioned in another thread I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the original tree program so I wanted to keep the spirit of the thing. If you want a more modern version of ncdu perhaps you might like dua!

what was the command that let you browse directories in terminal, also with file sizes shown

I wrote a "12 favourite terminal tools" list-article, what did I left out that should be absolutely included?
Another one I used for years until I found dua-cli. It can be run as a TUI with dua -i for a ncdu like interface.
