cli tools i actually use daily

the test: did i type it today without thinking about it. yes these are all in my dotfiles

ctrl-r replacement was the gateway, now half my aliases pipe into it

aliased to j out of old autojump habit. the muscle memory transferred in a day

syntax highlighting in cat. sounds cosmetic until you're reading minified json at 2am

six years of daily use and i still google the syntax every single time

my shell history from every machine, searchable. i self host the sync server (of course i do)

ls *.go | entr -r go run . and suddenly everything has hot reload. been around forever and somehow nobody knows it exists

make without the .PHONY nonsense. definitly the fastest adopted tool on this list

trying it as my ranger replacement. previews are stupid fast, ymmv on the default keybinds
