Which Linux command or utility is simple, powerful, and surprisingly unknown to many people or used less often?
This could be a command or a piece of software or an application.
For example I’m surprised to find that many people are unaware of Caddy, a very simple web server that can make setting up a reverse proxy incredibly easy.
Another example is fzf. Many people overlook this, a fast command-line fuzzy finder. It’s versatile for searching files, directories, or even shell history with minimal effort.
I use fuck to fix typos
this just reminds me of
please
which runs the previous command withsudo
Will also run the previous command with sudo, fwiw.
That’s fantastic, I can’t wait to go home and install it
Game changer!
I use fuckit to fix exceptions
That sounds dangerous. I hope it never tries to fix anything with
rm
You have to confirm any command before it runs, so no more dangerous than baseline rm
If you’d map it to just
f
it’s even more handyYou gain efficiency, but lose fun
