That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that.

There were quite some occurrences of this component in the entire project, therefore just searching for base-input was not going to cut it for me. Instead, I decided to use regular expressions resp. regex with ripgrep. After installing ripgrep it provides a rg command line tool.
Project mention: Level Up Your Dev Workflow: Conquer Web Development with a Blazing Fast Neovim Setup (Part 1) | dev.to | 2024-03-16ripgrep: A super-fast file searcher. You can install it using your system's package manager (e.g., brew install ripgrep on macOS). fd: Another blazing-fast file finder. Installation instructions can be found here: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd
Project mention: A ‘Software Developer’ Knows Enough to Deliver Working Software Alone and in Teams | /r/programming | 2023-12-06It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...
Project mention: Say good bye to cd and hello Zoxide - the better and smarter cd command | dev.to | 2024-04-14
Project mention: Show HN: TBMK – A Commands Bookmark for Terminal | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-26I've built something similar for myself (fzf+a bit of shell). But I realized that fzf's history view (with very long history buffer) works much better for my use case.
I still needed something to cover rare commands with dynamic arguments. That got covered by Navi: https://github.com/denisidoro/navi (takes more friction to add new command than with TBMK, but you get much more organized and easier to search tool).
We will be using the library for Clap - A simple-to-use, efficient, and full-featured library for parsing command line arguments and subcommands.
Project mention: Free Tech Tools and Resources - Hardware Monitor, Offboarding Script, WiFi Scanner & More | /r/SysAdminBlogs | 2023-10-25gping is a souped-up version of the traditional ping utility that graphs network latency for multiple hosts as well as execution time for commands, with the option of custom colors. Our thanks for the suggestion go to fudgecakekistan.
Take a look at broot https://github.com/Canop/broot
Project mention: Show HN: TextQuery – Query and Visualize Your CSV Data in Minutes | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-02I realize it's not really that comparable since these tools don't support SQL, but a more fully functioned CLI tool is - https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv
They are both fairly good
$ brew info eza ==> eza: stable 0.18.13 (bottled) Modern, maintained replacement for ls https://github.com/eza-community/eza Not installed From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/e/eza.rb License: MIT ==> Dependencies Build: pandoc ✘, pkg-config ✔, rust ✘ Required: libgit2 ✘ ==> Analytics install: 12,792 (30 days), 38,295 (90 days), 68,375 (365 days) install-on-request: 12,790 (30 days), 38,293 (90 days), 68,375 (365 days) build-error: 0 (30 days)
Project mention: Show HN: ScaleSocket – Turn any script into a multiplayer WebSocket server | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20It's similar to running netcat in server mode, wrapping a script. It's even closer to doing that using websocat [1], whereby one does not have to do the websocket header juggling.
The main difference is that while netcat or websocat will spawn a new process for each connecting client, ScaleSocket has a concept of rooms (channels). For a room, a process is spawned once only. All clients connecting to the same room are routed to the same process. This is not straight forward to do using the forementioned tools.
There's a small comparison page [2] where I have mentioned some alternative tools.

It's unclear what the superpowers would be? Video doesn't show anything I can't do with an IDE or decent code editor, and there I also have refactoring tools, metadata like indicators for usages that can be used for navigating and so on.
Reminds me of UML-like diagrams over relational databases, except that it's generated one piece at a time. In practice I generate diagrams showing cyclomatic complexity much more often, and for code exploration outside the IDE I'd use ast-grep.

Dog is cross platform and has some nice features, like json output.

Sounds helpful if you're using Apache. I use dufs (https://github.com/sigoden/dufs) as a lightweight file server.
Project mention: Sequential and parallel execution of long-running shell commands | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-20You can probably do a good subset it in bash, it's just a nicer interface with a lot of configurability and several convenience features.
I'm generally a big fan of showing alternatives: https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue/?tab=readme-ov-file#similar...
Would you be willing to write a proper guide on how to do all of these things in bash? It would be great to have this as guide an alternative inside the Pueue wiki and link to it. It'll help people to make a more informed decision on whether they need this tool or not.
