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

Our great sponsors

    Build like a team of hundreds_

    Open-source is at the ❤️ of everything we do at Appwrite, and we want to enable and foster the open-source community that helped us grow to nearly 10,000 stars on GitHub. Open-source projects, though, require a great deal of effort to maintain and grow. We use open-source tools every day to build Appwrite, and we want to help our community. To give back, each Appwrite engineer gets to pick an open-source project for Appwrite to sponsor for one year.

  • lazygit

    simple terminal UI for git commands

    Docker and Git are wonderfully powerful CLI tools, but I have to remember which command to use. 🤔 Even more, I only have access to the information I specifically request, which slows my workflow. To assist in development, I reach for the wonderful lazygit and lazydocker, both developed by Jesse Duffield. They’re both written in Go and each provide a mouse-friendly terminal interface 🖥️ to work with git repositories and docker environments. They’re most impressive in action:

  • 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.

  • lazydocker

    The lazier way to manage everything docker

  • git

    A fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches. (by git-for-windows)

    I like terminal apps for the same reason I prefer Vim in a tmux session over VSCode: I need a simple, fast interface to complete my job quickly. Docker 🐋 and Git are ubiquitous in the development world, but just like Vim, take a lot of effort to learn all of the power they offer. In short, git and docker are hard. 🤕 What’s a rebase? What’s that command to shell into a container? How do I resolve a merge conflict? If StackOverflow is any indication, these tools are confusing at least.
