What’s a handy cli tool you think others probably don’t but should know about? Mine would be tldr; which is a community contributed and modern replacement for man pages. Gets you the information you’re looking for 90% of the time with way less reading. h/t to @we for putting me down on it

direnv is one I cannot live without. It automatically loads/unloads .env files or custom commands when entering/exiting directories. Great tor working with multiple projects.

jq – parse, transform, and format json. Super handy for off the cuff queries w/curl, pretty printing, scraping, processing files, even small bash scripts. examples: pretty print: curl $url | jq export user fields as csv: curl $url | jq -r '.result.users[] | [.id, .name] | @csv > users.csv'

I also really like `cut`. I used it often for log processing like this, e.g. ``` $ cat nginx_access | grep 500 | cut -d " " -f 1,3 500 /frames/1 500 /frames/2 ... $ cat nginx_access | grep 500 | cut -d " " -f 1,3 | sort | uniq -c 10 500 /frames/1 22 500 /frames/2 ... ``` It accepts any delimeter via (-d).

Simon’s stuff is really great, though I suspect if you’re working with LLMs, you know. https://simonwillison.net/2023/May/18/cli-tools-for-llms/ Here’s a rare one for music people. https://blog.yossarian.net/2023/07/27/Introducing-shaq-a-CLI-for-shazam

Slightly off original the question as it is not the cli but a feature. Globbing in curl. Able to hit many urls in one line using curly braces for lists or square brackets for ranges.
