CLI and Terminal utilities

 Recent developments with AI has brought renewed interest in command line tools and terminal apps.  Linux had always had a rich collection of CLI utilities, but I wanted to check out what new options are now available.  This is my running list of things I've found interesting but haven't spent enough time for me to recommend it on my tools page.

  • Glow - a terminal markdown viewer written in Go.
  • LazyGit - terminal UI for Git written in Go.
  • Chafa - view images in the terminal written in C.
  • cvslens - terminal viewer of CSV files written in Rust
