I basically live in nvim. Being able to configure my editor in an actual programming language makes it so much more useful to me than vim could ever be.

off the top of my head:

• vim
• git
• bash
• make
• whatever-compiler-im-using
• curl
• less
• grep

I mentioned this in another post, but tmux is awesome

Ncdu is a really useful little utility that shows you what directories are using the most space on whichever drive/directory you select. Really useful little piece of software.

hdparm is another neato one that let’s you test the read speeds of your drives, though it’s more so something ya use once and forget exists.

Also, though Neovim is more popular, Helix deserves some recognition. It’s a rust based, vim inspired text editor which removes the need to configure it, making it easier for people trying to get into terminal text editors.

Edit: Jerboa removed the first name, my bad.

argos-translate for offline machine language translation.

tmux & neovim for editing files and organizing the terminal displays.

asciinema for recording and playing back terminal sessions.
