• tere

  13 1,621 7.9 Rust

  Terminal file explorer

tere - tui/cli alternative to cd + ls.

• lsd

  62 12,239 8.2 Rust

  The next gen ls command

  

lsd. It's a modern alternative to ls. It's similar to exa, but it also shows nerd font icons next to each listing. The latest release contains 2 bugfix PR's I recently submitted. One was to have it correctly give nonzero exit codes on certain failures, and the other fixed a zsh completion issue they introduced with the previous release. That's a big milestone for me because I don't normally work with low-level languages.

• duf

  26 12,249 2.9 Go

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

I don't see it mentioned often but duf is a great alternative to df

  A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.

github repo for zoxide

• rhit

  8 809 7.3 Rust

  A nginx log explorer

As two of the tools I made I already listed here, may I suggest also lfs (which tells you about your disks and available space) and rhit (if you have a nginx server running) ?

• dysk

  6 783 7.1 Rust

  A linux utility to get information on filesystems, like df but better

As two of the tools I made I already listed here, may I suggest also lfs (which tells you about your disks and available space) and rhit (if you have a nginx server running) ?

• dusage

  1 62 7.8 Rust

Biased, since I wrote it, but I'm using dusage in my .zshrc daily.

  A fast partial replacement for the codemod tool

  

• czkawka

  361 17,429 7.9 Rust

I just learned about https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka and thought about this list!

• difftastic

  68 19,450 9.9 Rust

  a structural diff that understands syntax 🟥🟩

I'm surprised no one mentioned difftastic so far. It's been such a joy to use!

• git-branch-selector

  3 12 5.4 Rust

  Interactive command line git branch selector

Shameless plug, but I recently wrote bselect, which you can use to interactively select git branches, and perform operations on them. It’s saved me time not having to open up a git client when it’s time to delete a load of branches.

• crush

  Crush is a command line shell that is also a powerful modern programming language.

crush, also a shell with structured data.

• ansible-json-monitor

  3 10 0.0 Rust

  Tool for command-line monitoring of ansible playbook runs.

ajmon together with ansible with the JSON output callback to probe the results of playbooks on the command-line. Much easier the the huge web monstrosities for monitoring ansible runs and also useful with just single machine runs.

• httm

  98 1,194 9.9 Rust

  Interactive, file-level Time Machine-like tool for ZFS/btrfs/nilfs2 (and even actual Time Machine backups!)

I use sk a dependency for my app httm, an interactive, file-level Time Machine-like tool for ZFS/btrfs, and as much as I'm happy to use it, it's unfortunately no longer actively developed and is missing a few cool features fzf has (like a select mode).

• trippy

  17 2,989 9.8 Rust

  A network diagnostic tool

Since you mention gping, I’ll shamelessly plug Trippy, an mtr (traceroute + ping) alternative.

• exa

  129 23,258 3.2 Rust

  A modern replacement for ‘ls’.

I’ve been using the still-open PR for about a year. It works very well. I do wish it would be merged, though.

I've been mostly using fzy which is written in C. I hope skim's matching algorithm is as good as fzy's…

• ubi

  3 58 7.4 Rust

  The Universal Binary Installer

  

I'll plug my tool ubi as an alternative/addition to this. It works with any GitHub project that does single-binary releases (so most Go and Rust projects).
