   Indispensable

   This has become an indispensable tool for me. One of the first thing to install on a new computer.

   🏁 Competitors: GNU Bourne Again SHell, fish shell

Bat mentions (103)

• Hired: A Modern Take on 'Ed'

  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. [1] https://github.com/sharkdp/bat. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep

  Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar. As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep

  I referenced bat because I've found that suggesting cygwin sometimes provokes a negative reaction. The GP also mentioned needing to install GNU tooling as if it were a negative. Bat is fancy pager written in Rust. It's on GitHub: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• MacOS tools to make your life easier

  Try bat (it’s like cat but better) Https://github.com/sharkdp/bat. Source: 5 months ago

• Tell HN: Please don't print –help to stderr in your CLI tools

  For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height): https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#highlighting---help-messages

    # in your .bashrc/.zshrc/*rc.

Oh My Zsh mentions (61)

• Zsh + Oh My Zsh

  This guide is to install Zsh and Oh My Zsh with the zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting plug ins. - Source: dev.to / 3 days ago

• Essential Tools & Technologies for New Developers

  For Linux users, your default terminal is just fine. The only thing I would install is oh-my-zsh with the autocomplete plugin. For my Mac friends out there, iTerm is an amazing software that works well with oh-my-zsh as well. - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago

• Improve your productivity by using more terminal and less mouse (🚀).

  If you are not using oh-my-zsh, you are missing out on some amazing plugins. One feature most people wish the terminal had is autocompletion. With the zsh-autosuggestions plugin, your terminal will autocomplete most commands and remember previous ones. - Source: dev.to / 15 days ago

• Terminal commands I use as a frontend developer

  That’s the minimum terminal setup. You can modify the look and add plugins such as autocompletion to your terminal by installing ohmyzsh and using themes such as powerlevel10k. I am already using them. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Zshell

  Somewhat related is "Oh My ZSH!" which is basically zsh on steroids, it's always one of the first things I install on a new computer. It gives things like new colors, themes, plugins, and more. Highly recommend you check it out. https://ohmyz.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
