What are some neat programs for using in the terminal?
https://github.com/ibraheemdev/modern-unix
Essential, but short list.

Neovim's built in terminal through Neovide is better than any terminal emulator.

That’s just a bunch of rust rewrites. It’s very creepy how they try to memory-hole C and GPL. I hope they suffer in hell.

You lost boomer

Isn't jq writen in C?

You're just mad rust managed to do what sepple couldn't by being less niggerlicious.
Very unfortunate for the gpl however, this is going to bite us in the ass sooner or later.

fzf can be useful if you figure out how to use it
function cdf
set -l whither
if command -sq fd
set whither (fd --type d | fzf)
else
set whither (find . -type d | fzf)
end
test -n "$whither"; and cd "$whither"
end

fd is nice too

>>105805493
imagine using powershell instead of F# in script mode

>>105804979 (OP)
gemini-cli is the only terminal emulator you need. Replace bash with gemini-cli today

>>105806959
Good evening rajesh

glow for readmes
gdu as better ncdu
fzf
yq for wrangling json/yaml/csv/toml/...
difftastic as better diff
fd as better find

>>105804979 (OP)
You mean a shell

>>105804988
thats a window/pane, neovim still has to run in some terminal emulator

>>105804996
nocoder, probably undergrad learning java

>>105805493
thats a shell, also sucks ass

>>105806959
thats a cli, bash is a shell, neither is terminal emulator

>>105807312
No it doesn't you fucking retard. Run neovide.

>>105807312
No I mean programs for a terminal emulator. Those typically work on any shell.

>>105806946
You can't use F# as a shell and you can't easily pipe strongly typed objects between F# scripts. fsi is better for longer scripts or if you need to reference a nuget package.

Cringing at this thread when there's a terminal with a built in drop down pallete and first class lua support for scripting basically anything you want from it
No thing else even comes close in 2025

Bro just use pwsh.

Your reading comprehension skills are bad and you should feel bad.

>>105809011
That requires me to have actually read your message

>>105804988
neovim plugin integration sucks. i wonder what kind of mentally disabled indian coded it. i might make one that actually does work

>>105807348
Neovide isnt built into Neovim to begin with, Neovide is a standalone GUI wrapper - with an embedded terminal emulator, because it has to be transparent to Neovim.

>>105809027
Use AstroNvim or similar

>>105809272
sounds like you installed linux yesterday and picked up on random meme software
- using a separate 'client' program from terminal/tmux just for running vim is retarded
- wrapping all you're terminal sessions in a neovim runtime with bajillion lua plugins and lsps that may crash the whole thing is also retarded
- neovim 'distros' are redditbrain garbage that just introduce more unnecessary, opaque complexity

>>105805179
Just a bunch of losers using c2rust stealing, re-licensing, and laundering C code.
Probably over 99% of rust code started out like that. Even rust is written in C originally.
They also have an obsession with pre or postfixing “rs” to it glorifying that it was stolen and mechanically transpiled into rust.
The actual writers of new or good software almost never do that.
Imagine the thousands of binaries that would be suffixed with “-c++” “-go” or “-clang” if actual software devs had that attitude.
Those github-is-the-new-myspace and bulk-source-code-meaningless-churn-statistics-is-the-new-social-credit-score people that epitomize rust the rust cultists ends up completely discrediting the language into worthless slop and has already relegated it to the trash bin of history, which is sad, because it destroyed the legitimate value it had.
They were too eager for mass “followers” without regard to the quality and character in those followers. And now, it’s too late.

Xterm is the alpha and omega.
Supports sixel graphics and tektronics vector graphics.

>>105810112
you are a retarded jobless undergrad who cant read

gnu coreutils - mandatory, i'll include some in the list here later

vim or neovim (learn the basics. you should be able to quickly navigate and edit a file without dreading it. use it until you're comfortable. practice for 5 mins a day. it's not hard and doesn't take long.

fzf - fuzzy file finder, easy search

htop - actually learn to use and decipher the data presented here

grep - find shit

ncdu - disk usage viewer

man - manpages, read the fuckin manual

tldr - simplified manpages

wget/curl - be familiar with at least one of these. very useful for all kinds of shit, i even use it to pirate ebooks off annas-archive

rsync - efficient backups

tree - directory structure visualization

xargs – combine with find, grep, cut, etc., to build powerful one-liners

learn pipes and redirection, command chaining, etc.

and also familiarize yourself with terminal stuff, like tab completion, etc. then get into bash scripting.

>>105810348
daily driving xterm is some weird autistic form of masochism-- get help, man

>>105807312
> thats a cli, bash
That’s not a command line. This is a command line.

>>105810489
i love that old industrial hammerite paint they used to put on everything when engineers made built shit to last. if you own a tool or device with green hammerite paint on it, it'll probably outlive your grandchildren

Now everything has this rubber overmolding that turns into goo after two years.
The enshitification marches on.

> first class lua support
It better be luajit not “lua”

>>105810469
Says the guy with his terminal in xterm-256color mode.
Just use the original instead of the meme-of-the-week copy/clone.
- universally works.
- the standard by which others are tested against.
- fast and snappy. Written to the xlib level without that gtk/kde nonsense.
- xeyes works when hovering over it. As well as your global shortcuts.

>>105810628
ok mr.autism, xterm is the best, you win, lol

>>105810296
>Even rust is written in C originally.
no, it was OCaml

>>105810677
And what was OCaml written in? Checkmate.
