    You can discover differences between Powershell and traditional shells as a Linux admin.

  • moreutils

    moreutils is a growing collection of the unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago when unix was young. Read-only version of `git://git.joeyh.name/moreutils`

  • For filesystem operations like batch renames at least, I am usually happy with `vidir` (part of `moreutils`: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/).

    `vidir [path]` will open an editor with the given directory as buffer contents.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • oil

    Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!
