Inspired by a similar post by Ben Boyter this a list of useful command line tools that I use. It’s not a list of every tool I use. These are tools that are new or typically not part of a standard POSIX command line environment. By “illustrated” he means there’s a screencap of the tools in action.

Any git repository contains a tonne of information about commits, contributors, and files. Extracting this information is not always trivial, mostly because of a gadzillion options to a gadzillion git commands – I don’t think there is a single person alive who knows them all. Probably not even Linus Torvalds himself :) Truth. Clone the repo here and make install or brew install git-quick-stats if you’re on macOS.

We’ve been chronicling Daniel’s work on #curl for some time now. December 11, 2018 will be Daniel’s final official day at Mozilla. He assures us that his work on curl will continue, saying this in regards to his time dedicated to curl and where he works for his full-time income, “I don’t think my choice of future employer should have to affect that negatively too much, except of course in periods.” Here are the main points from Daniel (but you should certainly dig into the details): It’s been five great years, but now it is time for me to move on and try something else. …lots of the HTTP/2 development and the publication of that was made while I was employed by Mozilla and I fondly participated in that. …we’re also losing Mozilla as a primary sponsor of the curl project, since that was made up of them allowing me to spend some of my work days on curl and that’s now over. I will continue to follow and work with HTTP and other internet protocols very closely. The future is bright but unknown! “I don’t yet know what to do next.”

dategrep reads a file and prints every line with a timestamp that falls into a user defined time range. When invoked on a normal file, dategrep uses a binary search to find the first matching line. The usefulness of this is perhaps best understood by seeing a few examples: dategrep --start "12:00" --end "12:15" syslog dategrep --end "12:15" --format "%b %d %H:%M:%S" syslog dategrep --last-minutes 5 syslog cat syslog | dategrep --end "12:15"
