Ask HN: What are your favorite cli/unix tool?
3 points by xinau 2899 days ago
I use some cli/unix tools in my day to day business and by looking into various awesome list, i know there are a ton of probably useful tools. I've used:

  * fzf -- fuzzy finding anything  
  * tmux -- when working over ssh*
  * fasd -- to get into my last used directories
  * ag -- for searching through files
  * dmenu -- for various selection tasks and starting of small  scripts
  * jq -- json search tool
But what are tools you like/love to use.

Obviously git for version control and make in combination with watchman as my goto buildtool, even though I like bazel just as much. I prefer tldr over manpages sometimes. I also use pass as my primary passwordstore and xclip for copying. Other well implemented tools I use in my daily life are taskwarrior (task and todo manager), hledger (for finances and accounting purposes), ncmpcpp (mpd client) and watson (as timetracking in multiple projects).
Going to take a look, at tldr and watchman. Thanks
