Some newish cli tools I use on a regular base

Tools that are mostly replacements for standard linux commands

fd - find files

GitHub - sharkdp/fd: A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'

Eza - modern replacement for ls

main site

github - exa

The Silver Searcher (ag) - grep like find

GitHub - ggreer/the_silver_searcher: A code-searching tool similar to ack, but faster.

• silver searcher (ag) and RipGREP (rg) do about the same thing with diffrent syntaxes. I prefer silver searcher personally but RipGrep is required by some NeoVIM plugins I like. so I have both installed.

RipGREP (rg) — recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files.

GitHub - RipGREP
