Trash-cli & rmtrash:
https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli
https://github.com/PhrozenByte/rmtrash
These let you put files in the trash with the command line, and follow the same options and arguments as the rm command, so you can alias one to the other.
The syntax is really easy, with trash-put to put a file in the trash, trash-list to list all files, trash-restore to restore a file, and trash-empty, well, you guessed what this one does.
Autojump:
https://github.com/wting/autojump
This is a tool that lets you super quickly jump into a specific directory, based on the folders you visit the most. Autojump starts maintaining a database of the folders you visit based on your history, the more you visit a folder, the higher it’s weight in the database.
Ranger
https://github.com/ranger/ranger
If the ls command is not enough for your file management needs, you can also use ranger. it’s a command line file manager that uses the vim keyboard shortcuts to navigate and interact with files.
TheF*ck
https://github.com/nvbn/thef*ck (replace the “*” by a “u”, of course)
So, the F*ck is a project that will autocorrect your mistakes when you type a command. Let’s say you’re trying to install a package on Fedora.
It will work with a LOT of different errors, like mistyping an argument, or command, forgetting an argument, and a lot more stupid mistakes.
TLDR
https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr
Another super helpful command is TLDR. If you’re starting with the command line, or trying to learn a new command, you might find the –help option insufficient, and the man command way too overstuffed with text.
Caniuse
https://github.com/sgentle/caniuse-cmd
There is an easy way to check which browser supports what, with the “caniuse” command. You probably already know about the caniuse website, but you can also check it through your terminal, by just typing caniuse followed by the property or feature you want to use.
edex-UI
https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui/blob/master/README.md
It basically displays a ton of system information, multiple terminals, your filesystem, your network usage, an on screen keyboard for touch users, and more!
espeak-ng
https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng
espeak-ng lets you type any sentence you like, and have your computer read it. It supports multiple voices, which you can list with the –voices option, and invoke by adding the argument -v followed by the voice name.
Gifgen
https://github.com/lukechilds/gifgen
This little tool will let you turn any video file into an animated image, and it lets you specify the framerate, with the -f option, and even select which portion of the video you want to keep, with the -b option to set the beginning time, and the -d option to set the duration.
