My approach to the command line

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • autojump

    A cd command that learns - easily navigate directories from the command line

  • Apart from autojump, everything else in my setup is quite basic. I try to stick to defaults as much as possible. This is why:

  • ripgrep

    ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

  • Non-standard tools require installation. If I make rg or ag my default search tool, I'll have to install it on the remote servers, in the CI environments, in the cloud IDEs, on my colleagues' machines. It's not always possible.

  • 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.

  • the_silver_searcher

    A code-searching tool similar to ack, but faster.

  • Non-standard tools require installation. If I make rg or ag my default search tool, I'll have to install it on the remote servers, in the CI environments, in the cloud IDEs, on my colleagues' machines. It's not always possible.
