isync/mbsync and offlineimap alternative. Looks pretty good and has a simple enough config!
At the moment unfortunately no way to 'include' things in the config file that I can see,
so no way to implement an externally sourced username/password style.
Command line csv viewer. (Less but for csv files)
Alternative to mermaid, plantuml, graphviz. Can be used in quarto.
Is a single golang cli binary at the core which I much (much) prefer to the javascript-dependent client-side nature of mermaid.
Otherwise, the DSL looks competent and fairly descriptive.
Supports displaying markdown, code, images, icons, or latex formulas in the diagrams.
Could be a good choice for quick diagrams!
Same rough functionality as entr - watch for filechanges from the commandline. But with a server/client interface and afaik possibility to invoke programmatically.
Provides the virtual windows management interface that tmux/screen do.
Does explicitly not do anything like session management, for that it recommends using abduco or similar programs like dtach.
Simple session management allowing to detach from a current session.
Does explicitly not emulate the virtual window system of screen/tmux.
Allows writing commandline arguments as if you're in a shell script, but from javascript.
Somewhat similar to execa, but afaik tries to implement its own cross-platform coreutil commands. Has quick $
based syntax by default:
import { $ } from "bun";
const response = await fetch("https://example.com");
// Use Response as stdin.
await $`echo < ${response} > wc -c`; // 120
Simple commandline process execution with javascript. Takes care of stdin/stdout/stderr transformations, termination, newlines, child processes and so on.
A smarter shell and scripting environment with advanced features designed for usability, safety and productivity.
Soomewhat like nushell in that it can easily open (i.e. wget/curl) APIs and web pages, parse structured data (e.g. TOML, YAML, JSON) and work with the variables.
But also somewhat different in that it does not want to take over the rest of the coreutils/shell builtins, and as far as I understand strives to work alongside the traditional shell (e.g. using it mostly for scripting while ignoring it for repl use or whatever your use case is). Also not taking a(n almost) strictly functional approach like nushell.
Not sure how mature it is yet, have not extensively tried it out.
Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils.
Simply intends to have complete compatibility with original coreutils - strives to fully pass the GNU coreutils test suite.
Flac splitting guide using cuetools (and shntool). Works wonderfully and easy to split, or convert, and tag with two commands.
Shows how to do lazy/non-greedy matching in ripgrep.
Simple video thumbnailing program - pretty fast and efficient, has lots of cmdline options but works 'good enough' by just invoking it.
Uses ffmpeg under the hood.
A cli wrapper combining git and dvs. Instead of doing first dvc commit
then git commit
then individual pushes you can just do it with one fds commit
.
Similarly with fds status
which is probably the most used command - get a quick at-a-glance overview of current project status for both data and code.
By being built as a wrapper it of course still allows delving into the individual programs for more advanced operations. Pretty clever, actually!
Interactive, file-level Time Machine-like tool for ZFS/btrfs/nilfs2 (and even actual Time Machine backups!)
Very cool, allows listing, filtering and browsing through backed-up individual files on the commandlien.
This article selects 100 TUI apps that largely reflects software our volunteers use as their daily drivers. Free and open source.
(Mostly TUI software, with some really interesting and lesser known software)
Terminal slide presentations. Uses its own markup language (unfortunately) but by doing so comes with some nice features such as emulating a shell command or even typing it with animation.
Yet Another.. zi? I don't know what the title stands for but I do know it like a pretty fast and smooth TUI fm.
A jq clone focussed on correctness, speed, and simplicity
jq in a different dress. As far as I can see the syntax is esentially the same but it is faster and wants to be 'correct'. Neat!
JSON Stream Editor (command line utility).
Another similar-but-different query language based tool to jq - just with what seems like much simpler syntax at least for simple queries.
Not sure how well it fares for more advanced requirements, but it might just do fine.
jq for binary formats - tool, language and decoders for working with binary and text formats
I suppose the description says it all. There are some usage examples on the README.md and they look avery intriguing - basically exploring an mp3 file kinda like through a hexdump/hexviewer but with jq-like query language built in
Update multiple repositories in with one command.
Similar to git-xargs but seems to work for repositories not hosted on Github. Takes any kind of script and applies it to all repositories you pass in. Very nice! Only the name is a bit worse.
Very interesting, the name basically gives the game away.
You give the tool a list of git(hub) repositories and a command (or more advanced script files) and it runs it against them.
You could for example create a file in each one. Or change some variable. Or grep and sed something from one thing to another thing. Or or or.
Honestly not seeing myself using it that often - but the fact it exists is fascinating to me, and the naming is just genius. Though I am a little sad that it seems to only work for Github projects.
Same thing as GRON - turn JSON into stream-friendly (i.e. greppable) destructured text.
Just faster! I suppose. Haven't really tried it myself
GReppablejsON!
Super awesome for de-structuring json responses to then simply work with through grep or other text-only speaking stream tools on the command line.
A JSON Query Language CLI tool. A little like the venerable jq a little not, has different selection (or 'query') syntax.
Basically you pass in JSON to select specific JSON from whatever data.
Feels a little weird to me at first, but might actually be easier for intermediate/advanced use cases then the mind-bending mess jq sometimes turns into for me
(or rather, the constant trial and error with jiq that it turns into)
abduco provides session management i.e. it allows programs to be run independently from its controlling terminal. That is programs can be detached - run in the background - and then later reattached. Together with dvtm it provides a simpler and cleaner alternative to tmux or screen.
(dvtm being a terminal window manager to have multiple tabs or buffers)
However, on its own it can also bring session management to something like wezterm which has amazing window management on its own but no real session management. Very neat and 'unix-y'
Takes a CSV file from the Sleep as Android app and generates monthly JSON files with the data provided, excluding noise recording information. - GitHub - GwynHannay/sleep_parser: Takes a CSV file from the Sleep as Android app and generates monthly JSON files with the data provided, excluding noise recording information.
Efficient Duplicate File Finder with extensive cli interface
File duplicate finder with a simple GUI. Has a cli frontend as well.
Cute little terminal TUI browser for gopher, gemini, finger (and your local files).
Runs on basically everything and uses some vim-like keys. Can also be made to work the the web but.. do you really want to?
A tool doing basically the same job of gnu parallels but with really nice cli interface - simple quoting, reading inputs from file, providing timeouts, retries, multi-line commands, continue flag. Really nice!
a simple named pipe management utility.
Really nice utility which creates ad-hoc named pipes for you which you can then use later. The Readme explains it well.
Can honestly have so many uses, it's staggering but I think it is one of those programs you forget about until you really really need it.
Sync worklogs between multiple time trackers, invoicing, and bookkeeping software.
Can synchronize for example timewarrior, toggl and clockify which seems pretty nice! Not used it myself since I completely moved to timewarrior.
Wonderfully useful program to show output of terminal commands in screenshots. Not super customizable but the default output looks good enough.
Can be useful for showing people how to accomplish something, blog entries, and especially for READMEs of command line programs.
eBay's TSV Utilities: Command line tools for large, tabular data files. Filtering, statistics, sampling, joins and more. - GitHub - eBay/tsv-utils: eBay's TSV Utilities: Command line tools for large, tabular data files. Filtering, statistics, sampling, joins and more.
TSV data wrangling utilities from the command line.
Written in D language.
A fantastic e-book reader for the terminal.
Supports common ebook formats like epub, mobi, awzs.
Can currently not show images in-line (would be a nice project for e.g. kitty image protocol), but can open them in your external image software.
Commandline ChatGPT interaction program, using golang. Has few quality of life features (but a pre-determined role to generate and execute shell commands [DANGER DANGER] or to generate code for you).
Has basic interactive mode.
Does NOT require OpenAI API keys, uses API from a different server. (For now, no key required).
Commandline ChatGPT interaction program, using python. Has a few quality of life features like conversation continuing, and token cost estimation.
Requires OpenAI API key to function.
A rusty commandline program to chat with OpenAI's ChatGPT. Requires OpenAI API key.
Has quite a few quality of life features like pre-determined roles (in yaml format), conversation saving, repl mode and more.
A shell script to interact with ChatGTP or DALL-E through CLI. Requires openai api key.
Built solely with (bash) shellscript, so no other interpreters required (python, node, ..)
Allows you to instantly try any python packages from the command line.
Basically like pipx, just for python libraries (i.e. packages without a runnable executable).

Stan seems like a really advanced platform for calculating statistical models wherever you wish - shell, python, etc.
General documentation here, commandline docs here, python here
Tools for program an Arduino with a Raspberry Pi via SSH. Using PlatformIO Core on Raspberry to use an Arduino from the command line.
Wayland screen recording from the command line! Simple, efficient, works. For audio and video.
Since it is really hard to just search for pass ('The simple password manager', thanks for the unique naming scheme 😉) extensions on github and similar places, this list comes in really handy.
Best alternative is to search for the 'pass-extension' topic on github.
Simple file server, also with webdav abaility. You can control if you want to enable editing, searching, uploading, access control and more. Still remains with a relatively simple cli interface to quickly bring up a server (e.g. dufs -A downloads
to serve your downloads directory with full access/write permissions)
