  • My list is a bit software developer-centric, but can be useful for development-adjacent tasks too.

    • The Github CLI - great for doing routine GH work, like opening PRs or filing issues.
    • glab - ditto for Gitlab.
    • jq - JSON parsing, formatting, searching and modification.
    • pup - like jq, but for HTML pages.
    • sed - A powerful text find-and-replace tool with regular expressions.
    • scp - File transfers over SSH.
    • xargs - run a command for every line of output from another command. Great for automating manual tasks.
    • curl - make any type of HTTP (and many other protocols) request from the command line.
    • tar - compress/uncompress archive files.
    • pwgen - generate passwords with lots of options.
    • uuidgen - generate universally unique ids.
    • exiftool - read and modify image/video/audio file metadata. Good for adding/editing tags/albums/dates/etc.
