I 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 The problem is this loses filenames and context lines in the output. I want to apply several positive and negative regexes, and only a…

Lnav with filters? or can you stack -e expression arguments onto one grep command?

Is mosh secure? Looks like it's been unmaintained for quite a few years.

I've been using it all day, every day for several years. It works quite well.

Good for you! But the question was about it being secure, while answer is about something else.

We might be victims of our own success on some of this. We've never had a major security hole in Mosh (after ten years since 1.0). We're really proud of that! But that also means we've never needed to issue a security update, which some people use as a proxy for "are people looking for security holes in this project."

After a few years without an active maintainer, as of a few months ago we now have a group working slowly but actively towards a Mosh 1.4 release. I think the main benefit people are expecting will be support for 24bit color escape sequences, but I'm also hoping we can get some fuzz targets, etc.

Are you ok with the initial list existing in memory?

Then I highly recommend: emacs / vim buffers

Has 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 Saved you a weekend ;)

As 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).

It could fit here nevertheless?

Here are some tools that are not exactly replacements for standard tools:»
