altbox.dev - A collection of power tools for the Linux/Unix/macOS command line
Alternative tools
The standard Unix tools have lasted us for decades. Every programmer
should know them, but there are plenty of tools that add on to the standard
tools. For example, grep works fine for finding text, but tools like
ack and ripgrep are designed for today’s modern
programmer working with large trees of heterogeneous source code.
