ripgrep

#.blogit #grep #unix | A command line search tool that "combines the usability of The Silver Searcher ... with the raw performance of GNU grep." I can attest to the usability being on par with `ag` and `ack`, and while I haven't run any actual benchmarks myself, it does seem to live up to its stated goals.

GNU Direvent

#.blogit #file #unix #watcher | A file-watcher with a lot of options and event granularity. There is a boatload of options for watching a directory for changes and executing a command, but if the others aren't doing what you're looking for, check direvent out. Oh, and by the way, it's really good to see [OneThingWell back at it](https://onethingwell.org/post/188125174832/direvent) (via).

renameutils

#.blogit #cli #unix #utilities | I'm in love with this tiny little set of CLIs for renaming files. This links to the project page, but you can install them through Homebrew (`brew install renameutils`). `qmv` and `qcp` open a list of target files in an editor, where you can rename them using whatever editor tools you need, and then save to apply the changes. `imv` and `icp` provide readline editing of a filename in place. Super handy. While you're at it, check out [rename](http://plasmasturm.org/code/rename/), also on Homebrew.

Apparix augmenting the command-line with directory bookmarks

#.blogit #bash #cli #linux #shell #toread #unix | Apparix is a CLI that augments directory navigation with bookmarks, distant listing, and distant editing. I need to dig deeper on this one, but thus far it's [`bashmarks`](https://github.com/huyng/bashmarks) on steroids.

astaxie/bat

#.blogit #bash #cli #curl #unix | A "cURL-like tool for humans." If you've ever written out long curl commands with a bunch of headers and `-d data` arguments when testing an API, this is a much more humane option. Via [OneThingWell](http://onethingwell.org/post/129412391471) (as seems to be the case at least once a week, so you should probably watch posts there as well).

dtrx: Intelligent archive extraction

#archiving #blogit #extraction #unix | "Do The Right Extraction": it's `extract` on steroids. I love that it handles archives that didn't put everything in a folder, it creates the folder automatically so you don't have stuff all over the folder you were working in. Haven't tested yet, hoping it works fine on BSD. [via [OneThingWell](http://onethingwell.org/post/45507327982/dtrx)]
