#22A new fave I recently discovered - render markdown in the terminal for easy reading (and proofing): https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow
I recently found out about mdp too, a way to display markdown in the terminal as slides. https://github.com/visit1985/mdp

I use pandoc to convert markdown to powerpoint decks, it's a great workflow as you can preview and tweak the content and then apply the firm theme before the presentation.

#23Couple ones there that I’m keen to try out. bat in particular seems like such an easy win
fd and ripgrep are the ones that have really stuck with me, replacing find and grep in my finger memory.
You can of course alias these commands as I have done, although coworkers hate me for it. Mind that
1. You need to be careful to avoid "works on my machine" moments
2. You need to remember that you did it in case you need to undo it.

#24Mosh isn't a replacement for SSH, it uses it. > The mosh client logs in to the server via SSH This is a cool list overall though.
It only uses ssh for iniating the connection to leverage the authentication.

#25Glad to discover fd. I've always struggled with find syntax. It's easy enough, but always kind of fiddly IME.
I mostly use zsh's globbing for this these days; the syntax can be a bit intimidating at first, but it's not that hard once you get used to it, and it's very quick and easy to type.
Bash doesn't really have any of this, so if you're a bash user you're out of luck. Don't know about fish.

#26Ah, delta is missing! Right from the docs, it's "[a] syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, and grep output".

Re: New(ish) command line tools
#27Has anyone made an installer/GNU type thing for the "common" ones like delta and rg? Could be a fun weekend project:
Select what tooling you want, it will be installed using your package manager
[ ] delta
[ ] bat

It's on the list, do a ripgrep for `a pager for git` ;)

#30direnv is such a godsend that I shill for it on every team and in every company now, it's such a great tool.
100% agree. It's such a versatile tool -- for example I have the following:
git config --local core.hooksPath $PWD/.githooks
export DOCKER_CONFIG=$(realpath secrets/docker)
Not enough people know about direnv.
