Let's talk CLI/TUI and Developer Workflows!
==========
I’m looking to refresh my local toolkit and I’m curious: what are the absolute "must-have" CLI or TUI programs in your current rotation?
Whether it's a specialized utility for a specific language, a terminal-based interface for a common service, or a workflow-changing alias, I want to hear about it. I’m especially interested in tools that prioritize keyboard-driven navigation and accessibility.
My Current Favorites:
----------
To get the ball rolling, here are a few tools I’ve been leaning on lately:
* **uv** — Fast, reliable Python package and project management.
* **fzf & ripgrep** — The classic duo for fuzzy finding and searching.
* **tmux** — For session management and persistent terminal workspaces.
* **jq / yq** — Essential for wrangling JSON and YAML without leaving the prompt.
What about you?
----------
1. What is one tool you've discovered recently that you can't live without?
2. Are there any TUI-based clients for web services (like Mastodon, GitHub, or RSS) that you recommend?
3. Do you have a favorite "hidden gem" script or small utility?
