Watchexec ignore directory?
Hi, I am using Watchexec (https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec/releases) to monitor folder changes, but I want to exclude some folders. What parameter should I use to perform the route exclusions?

How to automatically extract all zip files downloaded to certain directory?
Use https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec

My first actual Rust program: Cloak, a simple app to search and watch directories to automatically hide files and directories
There's something similar to this called watchexec, which you can have a look at https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec

Turbowatch – Extremely fast alternative to Nodemon
Or use watchexec which will do 95% of what you need and you're not tied to nodejs.

What "nice-to-have" CLI tools do you know?

-
is there a plugin to run any file (.py .js .java etc.) and display the output?
I use watchexec to automatically run the code when saved, you should customise this to your liking.

[Paid Bounty-$20 in Bitcoin!] Persistent - Watchfolder() dir, if files contains word "apple" in name, make file Read only.
OTOH PowerShell will not keep watching and is one of the requirements. In the past I've successfully used watchexecrepo and inotifywaitrepo.

How to automatically run a command when directory updates?
I prefer watchexec as it's cross-platform.

Entr: Rerun your build when files change
I’ve been a happy user of watchexec[0] for the past few months but Entr seems cool.

Atuin – Magical Shell History
Agreed, I use this in conjunction with Starship [1], both initialized specifically for Fish in the config. I love this shell so much.

Z – Jump Around
It seems like the Rust community is quite happy to support alternative shells. I’ve seen couple of projects, now, that support way more esoteric shells than I would expect, like ’xonsh’. Starship (https://starship.rs/) immediately comes to mind.

[MacOS] Setting up zsh in MacOS, any hints, dos/don'ts, advice, or guides?
Until now I have been using bash on Windows with Starship as the prompt. The only reason I went with Starship, is that it was easy to setup and at the time I did not have much free time to devout to the shell/prompt configuration.

Monaspace
I'm staying on BitstromWera Nerd Font. Works great with Starship.

Organizing Multiple Git Identities
I use conditional includes for this, but I also add a single letter describing which Git identity I'm currently using to my PS1 so that it appears before $ in my shell prompt. This prevents me from committing code with the wrong identity, in case I'm using a git checkout that's anywhere not covered by the conditional include rules.
I use Starship (https://starship.rs) to manage my prompt, and wrote a short script that only runs if I'm somewhere in a git repo, and if so finds my Git user's email and looks up the corresponding letter in an associative array declared in my ~/.config/starship-zsh/.zshenv:
git_email=$(git config --get user.email | perl -pe 'chomp if eof')
