jq is also super nice when you have to parse json data.

I'd also add ncdu - which is really great when you need to easily see what's eating up disk space. jq is also super nice when you have to parse json data. I also like powerlevel10k: https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k
| jq .
and you'll get nice color pretty printed output. 90% of the time I use jq it's just to pretty print like this.

For his usecase of funky i use ~/.bash_aliases, that way i can easily share them between machines. Eg to quickly add a new one: alias als="nvim $HOME/.bash_aliases && source $HOME/.bash_aliases" Be careful with quoting though, got myself into a situation where every new terminal asked for the root password. Shellcheck found the reason quickly. (edit) Another benefit is that those aliases abstract over differences of…

Use broot as tree is not necessary of course `tree | less` works for that but as hinted in the article broot contains a lot more features. Fuzzy finding, preview, multiwindow copy/paste, renaming, directory navigation etc
