Let's talk CLI/TUI and Developer Workflows!I’m looking to refresh my local toolkit and I’m curious: what are the absolute "must-have" CLI or TUI programs in your current rotation? Whether it's a specialized utility for a specific language, a terminal-based interface for a common service, or a workflow-changing alias, I want to hear about it. I’m especially interested in tools that prioritize keyboard-driven navigation and accessibility.My Current Favorites:To get the ball rolling, here are a few tools I’ve been leaning on lately:uv — Fast, reliable Python package and project management.fzf & ripgrep — The classic duo for fuzzy finding and searching.tmux — For session management and persistent terminal workspaces.jq / yq — Essential for wrangling JSON and YAML without leaving the prompt.What about you?What is one tool you've discovered recently that you can't live without?Are there any TUI-based clients for web services (like Mastodon, GitHub, or RSS) that you recommend?Do you have a favorite "hidden gem" script or small utility?

    Thanks for sharing! I will have to try this out on a project. Matches many of my own workflow habits, and more importantly, how I train devs on my team. Commit often, don't care if its broken, the pipeline will fix the history. They can truly stump me with how they get into the train wrecks they find themselves in. Committing conflicts sounds like a super power to help them out.
