Tools I always install on mac via brew

fd

Faster than find and locate, easy to use.

~/
❯ fd
foo
foo/bar
foo/bar/thing.txt
foo/test.java

~/
❯ fd ar
foo/bar

~/
❯ fd txt
foo/bar/thing.txt

exa

Replacement for ls with a lot of nice features.

git-cola

A nice GUI for git commit management.

git-delta

A nice git diff viewer.

ripgrep

A faster grep

A must have search tool.

rg Thing.+java
rg -i thing.+java
rg -u # unrestricted search
rg -g "*.java" # search only java files

[gnu-sed]

Because the BSD sed is different and I don't want to remember the differences.

make

GNU Make, different than BSD Make.

hexyl

Pipe a file into hexyl to see the hex representation of the file.

htop

Better than top.
