Modern Unix Tool List
modern unix tool list last updated: Aug 19, 2024 For the purposes of this list, a tool is "modern" if it replaces a tool that you're likely to find in a base debian install. I wish that the selection of CLI tools we provide with operating systems and broadly call "unix" would update itself much more frequently, but it doesn't, so you have to find updates where you can.
dust: du but faster and with nicer output duf: df with modern touches erdtree: a better tree fd: an improved find fzf: general purpose fuzzy finder. Hugely useful in shell scripts with curl ripgrep: a cornerstone of my workflow, an improved grep qsv: manipulate csv files at the command line This list originated at modern unix tools, but I've moved it here so I can add to it as I find things.
