Five modern command-line tools that upgrade your terminal.

5 terminal tools you'll install on every machine.

★ 38k Rust MIT ⚡ Replaces cd (Frecency Jump)

Jump to any folder by typing part of its name.

zoxide learns the folders you actually use. Type z and part of a name and you're there — no more cd dot-dot-slash forever.

  • jumped to ~/projects/dotfiles
  • ranks folders by how often you visit

★ 31k Rust MIT ⚡ Replaces ctrl-r (SQLite Sync)

Search every command you've ever run.

atuin swaps the ctrl-R history for a real search over everything you've typed — and syncs it across every machine you own.

  • 42 matches, newest first
  • synced across every machine

★ 34k Rust MIT ⚡ Replaces tmux (Built-in Hints)

Split your terminal without memorizing tmux.

zellij gives you panes, tabs, and layouts with every keybinding printed right on screen. tmux power, zero manual.

  • panes · tabs · floating windows
  • keybindings shown on screen, no cheatsheet

★ 12k Rust Apache-2.0 ⚡ Replaces du (Visual Tree)

See what's eating your disk in one command.

dust is du you can actually read — a colored tree of the biggest folders first. Spot that twelve-gig node_modules in a second.

  • 12G ▇▇▇▇ node_modules
  • 4.1G ▇▇ .cache

★ 34k C++ Apache-2.0 ⚡ Replaces htop (Live Gauges)

A system monitor that actually looks good.

btop shows CPU, memory, disk, and network as live colored gauges. It's htop — but you'll want to leave it open.

  • cpu ▇▇▇ 42% mem ▇▇ 61%
  • live gauges, mouse support
