#32I could really use a better workflow to refine grep matches. Has anyone made a tool that combines grep (regex search) with fzf (multiple positive/negative patterns)? What I really want is something like:
grep pattern1 **/* | grep pattern2 | grep -v exclude_these | grep -v also_exclude

I recently found out about mdp too, a way to display markdown in the terminal as slides. https://github.com/visit1985/mdp

Yeah, I just like the terminal aesthetic. And I've had a problem in the past with sales bros taking internal only presentations that aren't supposed to be consumed externally for a lot of reasons and showing them to customers. Markdown seems to be enough of a barrier to keep that from happening.

#34As a maintainer, I hoped to see Hurl [1], a tool for testing HTTP with plain text and curl, but alas it isn’t here! [1] https://hurl.dev
This doesn't quite appear to be the type of tool that fits the theme of the list (coreutil replacements).

#35No such list is complete without hexyl! https://github.com/sharkdp/hexyl
"A command-line hex viewer" (for anyone else who wanted a one line description of what it is).

#36Has 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 ...
If you're on arch, most if not all these tools are in the official repos. Note that delta is named "git-delta".
pacman -Syu git-delta bat ripgrep fd

#37direnv is such a godsend that I shill for it on every team and in every company now, it's such a great tool.
direnv should have been part of unix/linux/posix environments from the start. Whenever something's install steps tell you "go add this export statement to your .bashrc" or similar, it never sat well. That sort of thing should be scoped by path, and shell independent -- exactly the thing direnv enables.
I never understood why people were so enamored with direnv, but this makes me understand it a bit. I don't think I need it right now, but I'll keep it in mind for this use case.

Could not agree more. I've shilled it three times in the past week alone. And I've also taken to mentioning it in any README involving env vars. Awesome tool.

A replacement for xxd, which it seems like equally few people know about for some reason. Probably the reason it's forgotten about so often

Do you mean actual PowerPoint or just creating a (presumably HTML based) presentation?
