I often come across useful little tools where I think, I should try them later. But this "later" never happens…

This should become a place where I collect these tools with reasons why I should really try them.

  • Liquid Prompt --- a useful adaptive prompt for Bash & zsh
    • Liquid Prompt for FiSh --- Pull request for liquidprompt with support for FiSh
    • angel-PS1 --- The Angel's Prompt, inspired by liquidprompt, compatible with bash, zsh, mksh, dash, ksh93, tchs and fish
    • powerline-shell --- a beautiful and useful prompt for your shell (bash, zsh, fish)
    • powerline --- statusline plugin for vim, zsh, bash, tmux, IPython, Awesome, i3 and Qtile
  • transfer.sh --- web service to easily share files from the CLI using curl
  • maybe --- runs a command and shows what changes it would make to the filesystem while preventing those changes
  • betty --- friendly English-like interface for your command line, e.g. betty find me all files that contain california
  • httpie --- a CLI, cURL-like tool for humans, can pretty-print JSON answers from web services and much more
  • grc --- generic colouriser, can colour output from various tools, like ping, netstat, ps, tail, etc.
  • brotli --- compression format
  • Open Location Code --- compact way of specifying coordinates, supported by Google Maps
  • The Fuck --- if you had a typo in your command, just type fuck and it'll do its best to come up with the correct command.
  • fu --- a simple CLI utility for querying commandlinefu.com
    • bro --- a simple CLI utility for querying bropages.org
  • devtodo2 --- command-line task management utility
