Cdpath: Easily Navigate Directories in the Terminal
https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua is quite nice and has more features, e.g. fzf integration and an interactive mode.
-
What terminal apps are you using?
Then install: - z.lua - better cd - exa - better ls - trash - rm deletes completely - trash moves files to trash, so you can recover them - massren - absolutely the best file/folder renamer (especially for devs) - tldr - better than man
- Z.lua: A new CD command that helps you navigate faster by learning your habits
- A statically typed scripting language that transpiles to Posix sh
-
Which file manager do you use and why?
wget https://github.com/skywind3000/z.lua/raw/master/ranger_zlua.pyi && chmod +x ~/.config/ranger/plugins/ranger_zlua.py
-
Better version of cd?

6 Command Line Tools for Productive Programmers
I personally use z.lua, but if you're a Rust fan there's also zoxide. Both are multi-platform and highly configurable.
-
Is there something like z available for git?
With z you can CD into a directory like ~/Documents/Foo/Bar/Baz by executing z baz.
-
What is your cd system?
I used to keep some directory bookmarks with apparix, but nowadays I just use z.lua.
-
A new zsh plugin for finding z abbreviations
Currently zabb mainly supports the zoxide implementation of z. It works ok with z.lua, fasd and z, but may not find the shortest abbreviations for those. It may work for other implementations if they support the z -e command. I welcome PRs to expand zabb to other implementations.

Ask HN: Which tools are worth the time?
- Learning "modern" tools like ripgrep and fzf (There's a list here: https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix)
- Modern-Unix: collection of modern/faster/saner options to common Unix commands

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.

Introducing rewriteit.net - A collection of software rewritten 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.
