  • dotfiles

    Settings for various tools I use. (by nickjj)

  • All of my aliases are listed in my dotfiles at: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.aliases

  • nushell

    A new type of shell

  • Nushell comprehensively addresses this: https://www.nushell.sh

    (I don't have an opinion yet. Been meaning to try it for a year now but a shell is a difficult thing to switch)

  • dotfiles

    Discontinued Mostly ~/.* files to configure vim, sh, tmux, etc. on Debian, Mac, and Windows (by susam)

  • I have something similar but a little more elaborate at my ~/bin to ensure that there isn't a severe loss of quality during the conversion: https://github.com/susam/dotfiles/blob/e434b7c/bin/xmp3

  • ShellCheck

    ShellCheck, a static analysis tool for shell scripts

  • Note ShellCheck's SC2015, especially if you do stuff with permanent consequences in the place of "say":

    A && B || C is not if-then-else. C may run when A is true.

  • dotfiles

    A dumping ground for my personal dotfiles. (by jvinet)

  • I use something similar, but it leans on at(1) to popup reminders at predefined intervals. I tend to forget things once I'm buried in my Vim window.

    https://github.com/jvinet/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/rin

    Examples:

      $ rin +30 Check the turkey

  • 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.
