• tere

  13 1,704 6.9 Rust

  Terminal file explorer

  tere - tui/cli alternative to cd + ls.

• lsd

  65 13,661 7.6 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 12,953 0.9 Go

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

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

  Not sure if anyone mentioned tokei yet but it’s excellent

  A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.

  github repo for zoxide

• rhit

  8 857 4.8 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

  6 920 5.4 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 96 7.1 Rust

  💾 A command line disk usage information tool.

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

• fastmod

  8 1,688 3.8 Rust

  A fast partial replacement for the codemod tool

  

• czkawka

  364 20,515 7.4 Rust

  Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.

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

• difftastic

  74 21,257 9.7 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 15 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

  3 1,839 7.4 Rust

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

  crush, also a shell with structured data.

• vopono

  35 900 7.0 Rust

  Run applications through VPN tunnels with temporary network namespaces

  I wrote vopono, I use it all the time for quickly spinning up browsers through different VPNs for checking geographical restrictions, etc.

• jless

  37 4,807 3.4 Rust

  jless is a command-line JSON viewer designed for reading, exploring, and searching through JSON data.

  jqless: JQ viewer

• ansible-json-monitor

  3 11 3.1 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.

  Just another tmux session manager written in rust

  airmux

• navi

  52 15,241 6.1 Rust

• httm

  99 1,388 9.8 Rust

  Interactive, file-level Time Machine-like tool for ZFS/btrfs/nilfs2 (and even Time Machine and Restic 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

  20 3,815 9.7 Rust

  A network diagnostic tool

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

• exa

  131 23,694 3.0 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.

• wezterm

  152 18,305 9.7 Rust

  A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust

  WezTerm > Kitty :)

• fzy

  8 2,987 0.0 C

  :mag: A simple, fast fuzzy finder for the terminal

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

• ubi

  5 200 9.0 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).
