  • fzf.vim

    fzf :heart: vim

  • I started out with ack, which was great. Then I switched to git grep for most things, but it was quite slow on a large repository. Now I use ripgrep every day (every hour?) when I'm working, particularly inside vim via https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

  • gnu-parallel

    A clone of GNU Parallel (git://git.savannah.gnu.org/parallel.git)

  • Gnu parallel

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • metacpan-web

    Web interface for MetaCPAN

  • All language package index websites are a poor imitation of metacpan.org. Without a doubt it is the single best package website I have used for finding packages, reading docs, examples, version changes, source repo. Everybody should be shamelessly copying it.
