Sort of on topic...Does anyone know of a good interactive resource for learning some of the tools that are included by default on UNIX systems? RTFM is useful, of course.

Just about every Rust cli app written by sharkdp: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd https://github.com/sharkdp/bat https://github.com/sharkdp/diskus https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine For viewing csv's as tabular, paged data from the terminal, check out VisiData (python) https://github.com/saulpw/visidata
Netflix-Skunkworks/go-jira[0] - Jira interface written in Go that is incredibly flexible.
bat[1] - cat with code highlighting
climate[2] - Shell swiss-army knife of tools
That last one deserves a post on its own. It's certainly not the most portable thing -- requiring that certain binaries be available for some of its functions, but it works as-is for the Linux distributions that I run and provide simple commands for getting information about things that isn't always trivial to remember (such as getting an external IP address of a host from the command-line). Silly things like remembering the CLI options for 'du' (along with the necessary '| sort ... | head -5') are replaced by 'climate biggest-files'. It replaces a mess of tools, but does so, often, by simply calling those tools with the "correct" parameters that I've forgotten.
Yes, a well authored set of aliases for the most common commands would do the same thing, but I end up using 'climate' in cases where the information I need is something I rarely need for a given task and getting that information is going to be a non-obvious exercise involving a few pipes. It's a "kitchen sink" utility with a set of commands that, for the most part, you'd find a hard time grouping them into a single theme -- a command for getting the current weather (after all, it is named climate) next to one to download all files on a web page, next to one to get disk usage stats in a variety of ways. Normally, I don't like tools like this, but this one lands as a big exception to that rule for me.

fasd - fast navigation in command line asdf - universal installation tool for ruby, node, go, etc ripgrep - very fast search zsh - shell (with zsh-autosuggestions and fasd hooks)
I'll second fasd , for me though bash with bash-it is easier than setting up zsh.
