We all work in cmdline quite a bit and its always fun to find new alternatives, here an article discussing few of them, I already use htop regularly, what all tools are you using out of these?
most of those are new to me – will check them out!
I’ll add another to the list:
(written in Rust)
I’m liking the fd command a lot.
(written in Rust)
Viddy – Modern watch command.
(written in Go)
tere - a faster alternative to cd + ls.
(written in Rust)
Another grep alternative, benchmarks seems to show that its fastest of all.
Thanks @khem – I was playing with ug -Q (interactive TUI) – that is really cool. Will definitely keep this in my toolkit. I currently mostly use ripgrep.
While playing in the TUI, I did manage to get it to crash:
This is not surprising being a fairly young C++ program, but it does illustrate this is C++ … there is a tradeoff between speed (C/C++) and stability (Rust/Go) and a place for both.
yeah I use ripgrep too. This came to be even faster but I guess without handrails 
I have also started using couple of more tools
zoxide - A modern alternative for cd
eza - An alternative for ls
here is a good list of aliases to create - eza-ls · GitHub
here is what it will look like
