This page keep tracks of things / tools that I would want to learn and understand to use terminal more efficiently. This starts from using zsh and shell and additional terminal utilities that I installed along the way.

  • yazi - File explorer in Terminal
  • atuin- Shell History
  • btop- Resource Monitor
  • NeoVim - soon to be beloved text editor

Commands

  • pbcopy and pbpaste - you can pipe any output to be copied to your clipboard by piping it to the pbcopy command. By typing pbpaste command in the terminal, it would paste from your clipboard as output of the command
  • jq - I can pipe the output of a cat command to jq - and this will prettify and properly indent a .json file
  • tail - if a file is getting constantly updated, and you want to see the contents of the file in the terminal when it’s updating you can use this command
