sd VS exa

View on GitHub

I wanted to like sd but it doesn't support my main use case of recursive search/replace. Imagine every time you wanted to grep some files you had to build a find+xargs+rg pipeline... it just takes me out of the flow too much. I'm glad people are posting other options here, I'm looking forward to trying them.

sd

https://github.com/chmln/sd ftw (sed rebuilt in rust, much easier imho) ;-)

sd is a more intuitive alternative to sed, focussing on making find and replace easier - which is all I ever used sed for.

If it's in multiple files? To be honest, I'd just use a terminal and sed (or sd if you want something with a more friendly interface).

I love the idea and I'll try it out, but a heads up in case the author is around: the name sd clashes with another tool [0], which works as an alternative to sed.

I use that one pretty often, so maybe my first managed script will be one which symlinks binaries :)

sd is a find-and-replace CLI, and you can use it as a replacement for sed and awk. It is way more user-friendly and modern. It is also magnitudes faster than sed.

It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...

Can compile to a single binary to build tools like exa

Try https://github.com/ogham/exa and exa -T -L2 command . It will generate a good folder structure tree to update the question

Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.

Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.

For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Hi! I use this: https://the.exa.website, and the package to this: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/exa/

I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.
