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
That’s fantastic, I can’t wait to go home and install it
If you’d map it to just
f
it’s even more handyYou gain efficiency, but lose fun
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
Game changer!
I use fuckit to fix exceptions
