Modern alternatives to Unix commands

• gdu

  37 3,255 8.9 Go

  Fast disk usage analyzer with console interface written in Go

This might be the project being referred to. That's definitely not GNU du.

• scc

  19 6,080 8.2 Go

  Sloc, Cloc and Code: scc is a very fast accurate code counter with complexity calculations and COCOMO estimates written in pure Go

Great list! Some of them (like ripgrep) work great on Windows too. I would add scc, a really fast code counting tool.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  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.

  

• modern-unix

  55 29,742 0.0

  A collection of modern/faster/saner alternatives to common unix commands.

• company-mode

  41 2,158 8.6 Emacs Lisp

  Modular in-buffer completion framework for Emacs

  

unless you just mean clickable dropdowns instead of the inline suggestions it uses now, you may be happy to know that emacs is its own bastard love child, and there's a mode for that

• thefuck

  305 82,804 4.8 Python

  Magnificent app which corrects your previous console command.

Lots of good stuff in here, thanks OP! I'd recommend thefuck as a personal favourite too

• miller

  63 8,553 9.1 Go

  Miller is like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for name-indexed data such as CSV, TSV, and tabular JSON

No miller?

• duf

  26 12,280 2.9 Go

  Disk Usage/Free Utility - a better 'df' alternative

Throwing out a mention for duf as a df alternative, and bottom yet another top replacement.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  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.

  

• bottom

  81 8,850 9.3 Rust

  Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor.

Throwing out a mention for duf as a df alternative, and bottom yet another top replacement.

• htop

  6 5,482 1.2 C

  Discontinued htop - an interactive process viewer (by hishamhm)

It was dormant for quite some time but the FOSS community decided to take it over with the original author's blessing.

• Scoop

  252 19,855 8.7 PowerShell

  A command-line installer for Windows.

  

I use the mingw / git bash terminal on windows. I'm thrilled to see that a lot of these tools can be installed or added using https://scoop.sh. Great curated list of cool CLI tools !

• fzf.vim

  157 9,401 6.6 Vim Script

  fzf :heart: vim

fzf feels like the helm or ivy of vim once you've installed fzf.vim. It's not nearly as flexible, but it covers the base cases just as well or better, and that's all I ever used ivy for anyway.

• fzf

  407 59,739 9.6 Go

  :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

Though now that I read the base fzf plugin's vim docs, the configurable actions make up a fair chunk of the gap...

• zig

  816 30,631 10.0 Zig

  General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

  

You might want to check out zig. It is a pretty simple language with no hidden control flow but a lot of improvement over C. It does simple static binaries well and has great interop with C.

• atty

  3 263 0.0 Rust

  are you or are you not a tty?

That likely only works on a Windows console. For tools like this, you also want to handle cygwin, and that requires crazy hacks: https://github.com/softprops/atty/blob/7b5df17888997d57c2c1c8f91da1db5691f49953/src/lib.rs#L116-L154

• rust-memchr

  29 754 7.9 Rust

  Optimized string search routines for Rust.

I wrote memchr in Rust and I claim its performance is competitive with glibc's raw Assembly implementation.
