Sudo
Utility to execute a command as another user
Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root privileges to users and log root activity. The basic philosophy is to give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get their work done. Before building sudo, make sure you have the current version. The latest sudo may always be gotten via anonymous ftp from ftp.sudo.ws in the directory /pub/sudo/ or from the sudo website. -

fd
A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
fd is a program to find entries in your filesytem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not aim to support all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases. First, to get an overview of all available command line options, you can either run fd -h for a concise help message or fd --help for a more detailed version. fd is designed to find entries in your filesystem. The most basic search you can perform is to run fd with a single argument: the search pattern. Instead of just showing the search results, you often want to do something with them. fd provides two ways to execute external commands for each of your search results: the -x/--exec option runs an external command for each of the search results (in parallel), or the -X/--exec-batch option launches the external command once, with all search results as arguments. -

Lazygit
Simple terminal UI for git commands
You've heard it before, git is powerful, but what good is that power when everything is so damn hard to do? Interactive rebasing requires you to edit a goddamn TODO file in your editor? Are you kidding me? To stage part of a file you need to use a command-line program to step through each hunk and if a hunk can't be split down any further but contains code you don't want to stage, you have to edit an arcane patch file by hand? Are you KIDDING me?! Sometimes you get asked to stash your changes when switching branches only to realize that after you switch and unstash that there weren't even any conflicts and it would have been fine to just check out the branch directly? If you're a mere mortal like me and you're tired of hearing how powerful git is when in your daily life it's a powerful pain in your ass, lazygit might be for you. -

Wave Terminal
An open-source, cross-platform terminal for seamless workflows
Wave is an open-source AI-native terminal built for seamless workflows. Wave isn't just another terminal emulator; it's a rethink on how terminals are built. Wave combines the command line with the power of the open web to help veteran CLI users and new developers alike. Keep development moving forward without the copy, pasting, saving, and exporting headache. Built on an open web framework that is fully extensible. Quickly edit code on a local or remote machine with the same editor that powers VSCode. Great alternative to vim for new terminal users or quick updates. Preview Markdown files, render CSVs in a table (for copy/paste that works), and see JSON in a collapsable tree view right inline in your terminal. View any .jpeg, .png, .gif and more without sending the image to an external browser. Wave terminal sessions are persistent. Your sessions are restored through disconnects and reboots (even of the remote machine). -

Enables direct file transfer from/to SSH sessions via Zmodem. Full Unicode support including double-width characters. Terminus doesn't choke on fast-flowing outputs. Allows proper shell experience on Windows including tab completion (via Clink). Terminus is an alternative to Windows' standard terminal (conhost), PowerShell ISE, PuTTY or iTerm. Terminus is not a new shell or a MinGW or Cygwin replacement. Neither is it lightweight - if RAM usage is of importance, consider Conemu or Alacritty. -

arduino-cli
Arduino command line tool
Arduino CLI is an all-in-one solution that provides Boards/Library Managers, sketch builders, board detection, uploader, and many other tools needed to use any Arduino compatible board and platform from the command line or machine interfaces. In addition to being a standalone tool, Arduino CLI is the heart of all official Arduino development software (Arduino IDE, Arduino Web Editor). The script requires sh, which is always available on Linux and macOS. sh is not available by default on Windows, though it is available as part of Git for Windows (Git Bash). If you don't have sh available, use the "Download" installation option. If you would like to use the arduino-cli command from any location, install Arduino CLI to a directory already in your PATH or add the Arduino CLI installation path to your PATH environment variable. -

Harmony
Patching, replacing and decorating .NET and Mono methods
Harmony gives you an elegant and high-level way to alter the functionality in applications written in C#. It works great in games and is well established in titles like 7 Days To Die, BattleTech, Besiege, Cities:Skylines, Kerbal Space Program, Oxygen Not Included, Ravenfield, Rimworld, Sheltered, Stardew Valley, Staxel, Subnautica, The Ultimate Nerd Game, Total Miner, Unturned, SCP: Secret Laboratory and many more. If you develop in C# and your code is loaded as a module/plugin into a host application, you can use Harmony to alter the functionality of all the available assemblies of that application. Where other patch libraries simply allow you to replace the original method, Harmony goes one step further. It is also used in unit testing WPF controls and in many other areas. Installation is done by using 0Harmony.dll in your project or by using the Lib.Harmony nuget package. -

iTerm2 Color Schemes
Over 425 terminal color schemes/themes for iTerm/iTerm2
This project curates a large collection of terminal color schemes and makes them available in formats for many terminal emulators, not just iTerm2. You’ll find well-known palettes like Solarized, Dracula, Nord, and hundreds more, each with previews that showcase how code, prompts, and text look under the theme. The repository includes export files for multiple terminals—such as iTerm2, Apple Terminal, Alacritty, Kitty, Windows Terminal, and others—so you can apply the same aesthetic consistently across machines. There are helper tools and conversion scripts to generate or translate schemes, plus instructions for importing them on each supported terminal. Because it’s community-driven, new schemes and updates are added regularly, and issues often include tweaks to improve readability or contrast for different use cases. -
24
Kitty
Fast, Featureful, GPU based terminal emulator
Kitty is a fast GPU based terminal editor that allows you to offload rendering to the GPU for lower system load. Kitty works on Linux and macOS and uses OpenGL for rendering which makes it portable to other platforms similar to Unix. -

bottom
Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor
Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor. A customizable cross-platform graphical process/system monitor for the terminal. Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. Inspired by gtop, gotop, and htop. By default, bottom is somewhat like a dashboard - a bunch of different widgets, all showing different things, and they all cram together to fit into one terminal. If you instead just want to see one widget, maybe you want to look at a graph in more detail, for example, you can "expand" the currently selected widget using the e key, which will hide all other widgets and make that widget take up all available terminal space. To allow for widget-specific keybindings and expansion, there is the idea of widget selection in bottom, where you can focus on a specific widget to work with it. This can be done with the mouse (just click on the widget of interest).
