Must have commandline tools?
Must have commandline tools?
Big fan of commandline tools such as vim, htop etc. What is in your opinion must have tools?
You're viewing a single thread.
fzf for quickly matching file names especially deep in the directory hierarchy
ripgrep for quickly searching for text content within files
dtrx for handling the right extractions of different archive types
What is the difference between
ripgrepand just plain grep?ripgrepis a reimplementation ofgrepin Rust. It benchmarks faster for large file searches and also comes with quality of life features like syntax highlighting by default.It also ignores files in .gitignore and some others by default
It also has a much simpler and forgiving syntax. Just type
rg anythingand it finds anythinggrepdoes that throughfgrep
Even better, there is ripgrep-all that can also search in binary files like PDFs and office documents: https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all
