cd because I never had to lookup how to use it EDIT: hm it doesn't even have a man/info page. Where can you learn about "cd" or "cd -", then?!

#32Tmux and ripgrep are two that I use daily. I used to use cloc then switched to tokei, then to my own scc which I use frequently along with lc. Hyperfine is something I have been using a lot and despite having ripgrep I still use grep often with xargs.

#40Emacs.
Just ensure you're running a 256-bit color terminal emulator, and for most uses it doesn't even differ that much from the GUI version. Recently I've been doing a lot of work by SSH-ing to my desktop machine from a small netbook and using the terminal Emacs client. If you run Emacs in server mode, the transition is so smooth that at this point, I don't bother getting out of bed if I need to work on something late in the evening, I just take the netbook and SSH over.
