The Valuable Dev - File Management Tools for Your Favorite Shell
Saturday Greetings, Valuable Developer!
Hope everything’s going well on your side!
If you haven’t noticed, I didn’t publish any article the last month, and I didn’t send any newsletter either. Sorry about that! I had a rough period, and my motivation went crashing against a psychological wall; it happens, and thankfully things are getting better. So we’re back with an article this month!
More specifically, we’ll explore the basics of regular expressions using Vim and GNU Grep.
The Basics of Vim Regular Expressions
Regular expressions can be frightening if you have no idea what you’re looking at. Let’s unravel their meanings using both Vim and Grep, to see the differences between two regex engines.
Updates
I just released a new update for my book Building Your Mouseless Development Environment, and I’ll release another one hopefully before the end of the year, allowing the readers to encrypt their main partition when installing the system.
Mouseless
Here are some more tools for your shell:
- You have difficulties to take decisions? You want your shell to take them for you? It’s for your own good! Trust me, funny roulette is the CLI you need.
- Did you ever wanted to drag some files from your terminal to some web app which requires it? Dragon can help you in these unfortunate (and annoying) situations.
- If you want a configurable spreadsheet in your terminal, Keyb might help you.
- Term typer is a good CLI to measure your typing speed in your favorite shell.
