Bat is a cat clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration. It has helped me iimmensely when I want to view the contents of a file. It is a drop in replacement for cat and it has syntax highlighting for a lot of languages. It also has a pager mode which is enabled by default when output is piped to another command. It also has a lot of other features which you can read about in the documentation. In my case I have aliased it to cat in my .fish config file.

Project mention: Looking for an old video game buddy who lived in Dublin | reddit.com/r/Dublin | 2023-05-03
If you're tech savy, you could try running their Internet handles through a software called Sherlock. It will search different social media platforms. I'm not sure if there is a web alternate tp Sherlock, but using different search engines is also worth a shot (like bing).

ripgrep
ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore
Its fairly obvious to find really good projects in Rust using github, if nothing else, look for the number of stars on each repo, and one might stumble on "ripgrep"which is nicely done by the legendary burntsushi

It looks like you want just a script. Check if https://github.com/google/zx is sufficient for your needs.

I like what you're doing with this, never used cheat.sh before but had a little look around and great idea :) I've not tested everything, i seen something about find and thought i could help.

Ah, the automation! As I mentioned earlier, I kept it simple for the first iteration. I created a bash script that clones the candidate's project, uses Git to commit files and create branches, and leverages the GH CLI tool to create the PRs (among other things). I named this script "Autodev." It may not be much, but I absolutely loved using it. Now, let's take a closer look at what it does.

Can I try to rewrite it using the following? I'll just hand you the code I don't care about credit, I just enjoy cleaning things up. - https://github.com/spf13/cobra - https://echo.labstack.com/ - SQLite - and not a bunch of if statements

A lot of the tools in the post build on top of standard unix tools and are like for like (better) replacements. Many of them have been pulled from the Modern Unix repo on Github.

Project mention: Set base href from an environment variable with ng build | reddit.com/r/codehunter | 2023-06-01
I thought maybe if I named my environment variable the same as the --base-href build option used in the build command that the cli might pick it up, but no dice there either.

Project mention: I have this function I have written that shows how much of a percentage is done given progress in a loop..so..if you are iterating through a loop that is 500 long, at 200 it says "40%",240 "48%", and so on, but, how do you just change the value on the screen, not print a new one on a new line? | reddit.com/r/learnpython | 2023-04-11
I can recommend you the package tqdm (https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm) You can replace the standard for statement with it, or use it with any other iterable. By default, it gives you a progress bar with a percentage and ETA, but you can also configure it to only print the percentage, if you want that. If you want to use print statements, adding \r at the beginning and not putting a line end should also do the trick.

Project mention: Is Node.js a good way to implement a CLI app with persistence? | reddit.com/r/node | 2023-06-02
Due to Node's asynchronous behavior, it makes Node great for long-running processes that make a lot of HTTP requests, database calls, and other async ops, like a web server or a REST API. However, if I am making a CLI tool for pretty much personal use only, with very minimal async operations, then blocking the event loop with a synchronous function that will resolve almost immediately will make no difference perceivable to a human brain or have any speed benefits that someone can actually observe (think `fs.readFileSync` or `require('dotenv') of 10 line config file, or a quick embedded db (sqlite) query with only ~100 records. I'm wondering what the best way to implement the database part of the app synchronous. I can read/write to JSON files but it would be tricky because the data is relational, and some complex joins and other data wrangling operations are required (complex to perform in JS but are easy to implement in a SQL statement). It's not important what the operations are, that's not the point of this post. This is mostly a personal project of interest: making this CLI tool completely avoiding any async operations/using no promises. I would like to use node tho, as I said this is just out of interest and I also want to experiment with several CLI libraries such as Ink or Cliffy.

After using Warp for over a couple of months (and collecting feedback from colleagues already using it), the time has come. Is it better than Fig?

Project mention: Ask HN: What's your favorite software testing framework and why? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-21
You might want to give ava a spin:
It has a TAP reporter, but more importantly, as opposed to the more popular solutions, like Jest, the way it achieves parallelism is explained in the docs and won't change anytime soon, thus preventing wonky, hard to debug errors which occur when this part is abstracted away.
