  • modern-unix

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

  • Some more via https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix

  • zsh-z

    Jump quickly to directories that you have visited "frecently." A native Zsh port of z.sh with added features.

  • Is zoxide the true name of this tool? I've been using it for years (originally j), but then learned about rupa/z which I assumed was the original. I use a fork of rupa/z that was done entirely in zsh to make it faster: https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z

  • fzf

    :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

  • https://github.com/junegunn/fzf *Everything* in CLI is better with fzf

  • 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.
