- packetlost 6y agoAuthor of the post here, let me know if there's any feedback or suggestions for new tools!
- Eldt 6y agoSince you mentioned fd, you should check out ripgrep as an alternative to ag
- packetlost 6y agothe_silver_searcher (`ag(1)`) is covered and is pretty similar to ripgrep in functionality.
- Eldt 6y agoYes, I was highlighting it as an ag alternative that I commonly see recommended alongside fd
- packetlost 6y agoIt's been added to the "honorable mentions" section, as I do not use it myself.
- mixmastamyk 6y agohtop may be the original enhanced unix tool. micro is an editor with sane keybindings. An alias with inotifywait is what I use to watch the filesystem. ddccontrol and sysfs can change brightness of monitors.
- parliament32 6y agoentr actually looks super useful, thanks!
- zaphod4prez 6y agoyes i love entr!
- kevincox 6y agoentr is a critical part of my workflow these days. I have set up an alias `w` which watches a specific file and I have set vim to touch that file every time I save. This works for basically all projects with no setup. Example `w cargo test` runs my tests on save. `w systemctl reload nginx` when I am trying out changes to `nginx.conf`, `w gitlab-runner exec docker build` or `w d eval 'cargo build --release && time target/release/solve' games/micheal-fogleman.txt` to build and benchmark my program on every save. It is incredibly simple and useful for just about anything.
- anitil 6y agoGreat tool. I heard about it from Julia Evans a few weeks ago, and it replaced my janky half-baked script that used inotifywait
