A few of our favourite tools

In a previous webinar, we presented three of our favourite command line tools. Today, we will introduce other tools we find really useful in our daily workflow:

• lazygit: a wonderful terminal UI for Git,
• bat: a great syntax highlighter,
• ripgrep: a fast alternative to grep,
• fd: a really fast alternative to find,
• pass: a command line password manager.

Along the way, I will use a few other neat command line tools such as hyperfine — for sophisticated benchmarking — and diff-so-fancy — which makes your diffs a lot more readable.

For the Emacs users among you, we will finish the workshop with two Emacs utilities:

• TRAMP: a remote file access system,
• Helm: a "framework for incremental completions and narrowing selections".
