Top 15 Rust System tool Projects
-
I'm aware of them, but not familiar. I always use tools like Filelight, ncdu, and fd and do my own cleaning.
-
Even though ls is a good-old standby, I prefer the aliases for ll and la that rely on exa. These aliases default to showing important information like git status and can even prevent me from needing to launch subsequent, exploratory commands.

Project mention: Rust maintainer perfectionism, or, the tragedy of Alacritty | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-11-26
I actually have experience with this specific code. I recently fixed a bug in a function that his PR also touches: https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1521
And I have a PR to fix problems in another Rust wrapper of the same libc functions: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/2653
It's hard to get right. Skimming the PR, the feedback looks reasonable.

Project mention: What's your favorite ls and/or cd replacements, alternatives or helpers? | reddit.com/r/commandline | 2021-11-16
Mine alternatives/helpers bringing a new extra functionality are the following: - https://github.com/facebook/pathpicker/ - Facebook PathPicker is a simple command line tool that solves the perpetual problem of selecting files out of bash output. - https://github.com/jhspetersson/fselect - Find files with SQL-like queries - https://github.com/junegunn/fzf - fzf is a general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder.
-
There's also skim! Which is an fzf-like implemented in rust. Last time I tested them it was about 10 times faster than fzf. That was a while ago though.

Project mention: Rapid development helper: run program when anything changes | reddit.com/r/adventofcode | 2021-11-12
Another neat little tool I like to use for this is watchexec

Project mention: Is it true that most web developers use Linux and that's what you use at your job as a web developer? | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2021-05-22
Fish is deliberately not POSIX compliant and it's much nicer to use. Redox is going for UNIX compliance overall, but is deliberately being even less POSIX like than fish in their ion shell.
