Howdy y’all!

I’m curious about everyone’s favorite/most used CLI tool! Please include your favorite as well as your use case if you don’t mind. Mine is rsync, which I use to keep my home music storage synced with my music player’s SD card.

Runner up is ranger to navigate files. I mainly use this to quickly visually navigate mounted drives that I did not organize myself.

Hope to hear from you all soon, thanks!

    screen keeps the current state of your console if your connection is lost or if you switch devices. You could also use tabs for multiple console windows. Customize it by a ~/.screenrc file (scrollback amount, no welcome screen, nicer colors, a status bar …)

    About vim: I enjoy it most with an eye-friendly theme and some plugins like nerdtree (file explorer) and ctrlp (fuzzy file search). More plugins here: https://vimawesome.com/ You can (and should) use your own ~/.vimrc config file, where you could setup your own keybindings, plugins and themes.

    About git: It’s a version control tool to keep track of your file changes. Properly configured, you could also use your vim for git file differences (git difftool). Professionally used for code changes and collaboration with other developers. Privately it could be used to track changes in your local markdown documentation, your diary or your tex thesis for example.
