In Bash, I like to use cdargs
sudo apt-get install cdargs
It allows you to set up shortcuts on the fly,
cv sdbackup
rather than cd /media/user/Backup Plus/ MyFiles/current/sdbackup
cv with no argument will give you a list to select from current shortcuts
Of those mentioned, this one intrigues me most. Thanks!
Always partial to yq and jq. No easier way to interact with kubernetes outputs on the fly.
How I have never heard of yq, I'm unsure, but thank you as I'm sure it will make life easier
I don't know about k8s work in particular, but I enjoy jello and yamlpath more than jq and yq.
I really like jless. You can pipe the JSON output of a cURL command into it and it displays it in a really nice, easy to read way with collapsible arrays and objects.
Why haven't I heard of this before?? Absolute gamechanger o_O
I write a lot of bash scripts that end up running in automation in some fashion.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euxo pipefail
Is pretty standard for me.
-e exit on error
-o pipefail exit on pipeline fail
-u error on unset variables
-x trace
pv, which is like cat, simply copying files or stdin to stdout, but prints statistics to the terminal.
A related tip: dd isn't special in the way most people use it. This works too, if you're root: pv my-fav-distro.iso > /dev/sdc
I'm a pretty big fan of icdiff. This utility allows you to compare two files to see what has been added or removed by using colorful fonts to highlight values.
My answers (mostly running in powershell - not that it makes much of a difference!)
Rust-based utilities I couldn't live without:
fd (fd-find) for finding my filesrg (ripgrep) for string searchessd (sed) for search and replacedust (dust) for information about my directorieslsd (aliased to ls or l) for replacing Dirbat (better cat) - for when the help pages are too longOther stuff I love:
