Par: Parallel Worktree and Session Manager
Par is a CLI that combines git worktrees with tmux sessions to manage parallel development workstreams — each task gets an isolated directory and persistent terminal. Built for concurrent AI-assisted development where multiple agents run simultaneously.
Terminal Trove: directory of terminal and TUI applications
Terminal Trove is a curated directory of terminal and TUI applications — the go-to resource for discovering well-maintained CLI tools across categories like file managers, system monitors, git clients, and productivity tools.
McFly: neural network-powered shell history search

Glow: Markdown renderer for the terminal
Glow renders Markdown beautifully in the terminal with syntax highlighting, styled headings, and an optional pager TUI — from Charmbracelet, the creators of Bubbletea. Makes README and docs files readable without leaving the terminal.
Extrakto: fuzzy text extraction from tmux terminal output
Extrakto is a tmux plugin that extracts text from terminal output using fuzzy search — select any visible URL, path, or word and insert it into the current prompt without mouse or manual retyping. Removes a consistent terminal friction point.
Atuin: shell history as a searchable, synced database
Atuin replaces shell history with a searchable SQLite database that syncs across machines, with fuzzy search, context-aware filtering (host, directory, exit code), and end-to-end encrypted sync. A meaningful upgrade over the default shell history experience.
mrnugget's Git Helpers Dotfile
Specific lines from Matej Hustau's (mrnugget) githelpers dotfile — a shell script of git log formatting and productivity aliases. A reference for clean git log output and workflow helper patterns from a seasoned developer's dotfiles.
dotenvx
dotenvx is an improved dotenv from the original creator — adding encrypted .env files, multi-environment support, and a CLI that works across any language or stack. Lets you commit encrypted .env files to git without a secrets server.
Webwright: AI-Powered Shell for Building and Running Software
Webwright is a natural language shell that translates conversational input into executable commands — three modes (shell, NL, AI agent) with file references and clipboard integration. A terminal that understands intent.
mise-en-place: developer environment manager
mise-en-place (mise) is a developer tool version manager and task runner — a single tool that manages language runtimes (Node, Python, Ruby), sets environment variables per-project, and replaces make for task running. The modern polyglot replacement for nvm/rbenv/pyenv.
Gorilla CLI: LLMs for Your CLI
