Ask HN: Favourite command line applications?

1. Tmux[1] - It helps me to manage my cli windows on my local machine and VMs. Do not need multiple ssh sessions opened at the same time. Yes, Screen can be alternative solution but tmux is what I like.

2. Gotop[2] - Graphical activity monitor for cli written in go. It's an alternative for htop with a better UI. Really liked it.

3. Aria2c[3] - It's a cli file download tool with multiple connection and resumable download support. Handy when downloading large files.

4. arp-scan[4] - Can find all the devices connected to the network. Helps me find my Raspberry Pi on the network.

These are just few of them I use regularly. There are so many other good ones as well.

Bioawk: https://github.com/lh3/bioawk This tool is based on Awk programming language which makes it familiar plus it fast and helps to deal with sequencing data. Another tool I like is bedtools: https://github.com/arq5x/bedtools2
