    I have mostly replaced all command line stuff with Emacs, but there are still a few CLI utilities that I continue to use, whether I am in the CLI directly or whether I am using Emacs:

    • tmux or screen (terminal multiplexing)
    • bash (shell scripting)
    • grep, sed (filtering, formatting)
    • ps, pgrep, pkill (process control)
    • ls, find, du (filesystem search)
    • ssh, nc, rsync, sshfs, sftp (remote access, file transfer)
    • tee, dd (pipe control)
    • less, emacs, diff, patch, pandoc (text editing)
    • man, apropos (manual)
    • tar, gzip, bzip2, xz (archiving)
    • hexdump, base64, basenc, sha256sum (data encoding, checksums)
    • wget, curl, (HTTP client)
    • dpkg, apt-get, guix (package management)
    • mpv (media player)
    • ldd, objdump, readelf (inspecting binary files)
    • zfs (maintaining my backup filesystem)
