Modern replacements for linux(and macos) terminal commands

Old and new

  • grep -> rg (ripgrep)
  • ls -> exa
  • cat -> bat
  • vim -> nvim (neovim)
  • cd -> z (try zoxide) https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

No replacement?

  • fx JSON viewer
  • glow Markdown preview (bat isn't bad either...) (WOW) amazing for discovering md files to read in the folder tree
  • fzf Super fast fuzzy finder for any list input
  • z cd with fuzzer finder and frecency baked in
