IDEs, UNIX, AND THE LEGACY WORKFLOW THAT NEVER WENT AWAY

Words of Wisdom are dispensed in the article

I have a workflow consisting of

• screen
• bash or one of
• csh
• ksh
• zsh
• vim or
• vim.motif
• function third(){ awk '{if (NR%3==0){print "\033[32m" $0 "\033[0m"} else{print}}'; }
• function psgrep() { ps axuf | grep -v grep | grep "$@" -i --color=auto; }
• function mkcd(){ [ ! -z "$1" ] && mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$_"; }
• gcc
• g++
• asm
• ln
• go from golang
• lsd
• ncdu

These choices are deliberate. I want and demand the fastest programming ENV: which follow the UNIX principle & KISS

quotes

tl;dr*

Unix already solved many IDE problems decades ago using small cooperating tools instead of one large application.

• bash
• coreutils
• less
• tmux
• nvialready form a complete and focused development environment for many Unix workflows.

The shell becomes the workspace, the terminal manages sessions, and the editor remains small and predictable

man sh(1)

man ls(1)

man coreutils(1)

man less(1)

man screen(1)

man tmux(1)

man vim(1)

#tersoftware de linha de comando

• #jq - formatação e bonitificação de texto em formato JSON
• #bat - um #cat com asas :)
• #ncdu - interface em ncurses pro #du, muito útil pra encontrar (e apagar) diretórios e arquivos gigantes no disco
• #ranger - navegador de arquivos com atalhos do vim
• #z - acessa pastas frequentemente utilizadas diretamente
• #fzf - backend de fuzzy search compatível com todos os sabores de shells e vim.
• #fd - um #find mais intuitivo
• #rg - um #grep mais intuitivo, com mais funcionalidades (e mais rápido)

A new-to-me tool that is wonderfully useful, I've immediately been able to use it on a few machines this week: NCurses Disk Usage, aka ncdu.

Today I added support for `borg create --list` output to #ncdu-export, allowing you to interactively preview a #borg snapshot creation inside of #ncdu.

I also found and fixed/worked around a nasty bug making #ncdu crash when emoji file names were encountered:

I was just running `ncdu` on my server and wondered if there is a quicker way. Apparently there is! `gdu` claims to be faster, and I tried it.

Yep, satisfying :drgn_flat_owo:

This seems to work.. but I had to download the compiler of a language I never heard of before to build the binary.. oldskool!

The #terminal can be a bit daunting if you've never approached it before. One of the biggest hold backs for a lot of people switching to #linux is being afraid of troubleshooting in the terminal. I figured, let's break the ice a bit shall we? We can install #hollywood, #ncdu & #cmatrix using just the terminal in #linuxmint by running some very simple and easy commands! Come follow along!

It wasn't until today that I tried #gdu as a replacement for #ncdu

gdu is..stupidly fast. I have wasted so much time on big directory trees with ncdu
