This page will serve to collect small (or not so small) things I like to use and think it would be good to share with you. Console utilities, hardware, whatever.

Console utilitites

  • thefuck. A utility that corrects mistyped console commands and do something more: propose you to install what is not installed. It also allows you to create your own correction rules.
  • pjson. Reads JSON/XML inputs and gives you pretty-printed outputs. Especially good when combined with curl.
  • pandoc. A great tool to convert documents from any format to any other format.
  • wscat. A very simple utility to debug WebSockets.

Utilities with GUI

  • CopyClip. A macOS-specific tool that gives you access to the clipboard history. Accessible from the system tray. Has hotkeys. Downside: text-only.
  • Portainer. Just the best UI for Docker so far. Helps you manage containers, images, volumes and networks. Works pretty fast even though the UI is web-based.
  • SmartGit. The Git GUI client that works best for me (especially when resolving merge conflicts). It may look dated but definitely deserves some attention.
  • Insomnia. A decent feature-rich UI for HTTP requests. Much more lightweight than Postman.

Online services

  • CiteThisForMe. A resource for creating bibliographies in a format required by a particular journal or a conference.

zsh

  • zsh itself. The most convenient shell for me so far.
  • antigen. The best way to configure zsh so far. Supports oh-my-zsh
  • pure. Nice and convenient zsh prompt with git integration.
  • zsh-autosuggestions. Suggests the command as you type. The suggestion is accepted by pressing the right arrow button.
  • zsh-completions. An extension for autocompletion in zsh.
  • fast-syntax-highlighting. Good syntax highlighting system for zsh.

Other

  • Fira Code – the best monospace font with ligatures.
