    Completely boring technology: aurutils, bash (with bash-it), bat, cp, git, grep, head, man, mv, pacman, rm, rsync, ssh, sudo, tmux, tree, vim.

    According to:

        $ history | awk '{print $2}' | sort -u
    Slightly edited:

    bash, bc, convert, cp, df, du, fossil, grep, less, tail, make, man, mc, mkdir, mv, ps, rm, ssh, scp, sudo, tar, gzip, unzip

    - tmux

    - vim: NERDTree, Gblame

    - zsh

    - tig: best way to browse git history in terminal

    The Dagger TUI is pretty sweet. They have an awesome renderer for OTEL spans (how they emit and view the steps). Built on the Charm suite, it is a better way (imo) to define, build, and run containers and containerized workflows (not at scale).

    I back my agents and sessions with it for superpowers beyond sandboxing.

    My personal CLI/TUI is https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof and starts from a CUE centric developer experience. The above is also a part of it

      hof looks pretty nice, definitely deserves a star, will also take a look at The Dagger. Thanks

        Thanks, hof has 3-6 cli/tui depending on how you count. A subset of Dagger and CUE cli commands are embedded for convenience. There is an old tcell TUI inspired by the bloomberg terminal and the start of a new Charm based TUI in the agentic area. There may still be a repl in there, not sure if it's wired up currently.

          Don't know if you have any experience with golang or aws, but maybe it worth taking a look at aws-doctor (https://github.com/elC0mpa/aws-doctor). This is a CLI tool I built myself, in the future want to make it more interactive and I am looking for some CLI apps to take ideas from there

            I'm a gopher but stay away from AWS

            Google recently launched a cli for gmail and docs that I've been meaning to try.
