What CLI tool will blow your mind? (written in rust)

• whitebox-tools

  13 883 6.3 Rust

  An advanced geospatial data analysis platform

WhiteboxTools (https://www.whiteboxgeo.com/) is a CLI tool that is about 500,000 lines of Rust (https://github.com/jblindsay/whitebox-tools) and is used for geospatial analysis in all kinds of industries. Most people use one of the many front-ends for it though (e.g. the QGIS plugin), so as to avoid the CLI, but at the most basic level, it's just a CLI. (Note, I'm the author of this tool, and so a little biased.)

Maybe seemingly boring answer, but for someone who lives in the terminal, bat is a great upgrade for quickly viewing files.

• fd

fd is pretty good, I use it a lot, and I already replace `find` and `locate` with `fd` as well.

• nu_scripts

  3 589 9.4 Nushell

  A place to share Nushell scripts with each other

  

I was the same, tonnes of fish scripts, but lots of these rust cli tools have been replacing my scripts as of late, the nu scripting language is nice so I'm putting some effort into learning it. There's a repo for other people's scripts here: https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts . I wouldn't think the docs are complete, there were some major changes recently to add a completion engine which is what made me finally make the switch. But at this point, you pretty much have to write your own completion scripts because there are not many there yet.
