My Linux Command Line Tools

thingsiplay.game.blog Linux Command Line Tools

A short overview about some of my command line scripts and applications. I am someone who uses command line applications in the terminal and through scripting a lot. And thus results in many aliase…

A short list with categories of my smol terminal focused tools, scripts and functions I have created over the years. There are some general purpose and very specific ones. This list was needed, because in Github it was a bit cluttered. Maybe, just maybe, you find something useful or inspiring in there.

Simce you have Biggest, also try PDU https://github.com/KSXGitHub/parallel-disk-usage

Gives you a cli graph of what folders files are taking up largest percent of space. It runs parallel processes to get the info, so it reports it super fast.
- I've seen this before. It's a nice visualization. As for the "biggest" script, its not as slow as you think. It's a single du call (alongside cheap sort, head and tac) and therefore quite fast. In example in my ~/Documents directory is almost 1 TB big and running time biggest Documents executes it in almost 2 seconds (for the first time after a reboot). Subsequent calls are quicker, 0.6s and then 0.07s. Edit: And BTW, it's a mechanical HDD, not SSD too.
  
  Also I like the output of the files or folders and I can even use commandline arguments like biggest Documents/*.txt in example. So for me this is enough and exactly what I need.
