zsh-z
Jump quickly to directories that you have visited "frecently." A native Zsh port of z.sh with added features.
I used and loved z for years but migrated to zsh-z (https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z) when MacOS switched the default shell and it became apparent that z wouldn’t be compatible with it.
Anyone have a view on whether I should switch from zsh-z to Zoxide?

quickpkg
wrapper for pkgbuild to quickly build simple packages from an installed app, a dmg or zip archive.
-
The most ambitious parts. I want to experiment using softmax and a somewhat complicated (but easily customizable) scoring system that would be entirely based on the activity log. Very much a work in progress, so far.

navita
A command-line tool for fast directory navigation in Bash & Zsh, ranking directories by frequency and recency. It enables quick fuzzy searches, recent history access, and smooth directory switching for efficient terminal workflows. (by CodesOfRishi)

bash-toolkit
Could be my ever-growing, ever-improving, Swiss Army Toolkit of functions-as-cmd-line-tools and useful-to-me patterns.
Bash Associative Arrays [] are handy! Some examples of how I've used them:
- my site builder (for evalapply.org): inject metadata into page templates. e.g. https://github.com/adityaathalye/shite/blob/b4163b566f0708fd...
- oxo game (tic-tac-toe): reverse index lookup table for board positions: https://github.com/adityaathalye/oxo/blob/7681e75edaeec5aa1f...
- personal machine setup: associate name of installed application to its apt source name, so we can check for the app, and then install package https://github.com/adityaathalye/bash-toolkit/blob/f856edd30...
[] I'd say "hashmap" is acceptable, colloquially. However, I don't think Bash computes hashes of the keys.
