  • moreutils

    moreutils is a growing collection of the unix tools that nobody thought to write long ago when unix was young. Read-only version of `git://git.joeyh.name/moreutils`

  • For filesystem operations like batch renames at least, I am usually happy with `vidir` (part of `moreutils`: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/).

    `vidir [path]` will open an editor with the given directory as buffer contents.
