Howdy y’all!

I’m curious about everyone’s favorite/most used CLI tool! Please include your favorite as well as your use case if you don’t mind. Mine is rsync, which I use to keep my home music storage synced with my music player’s SD card.

Runner up is ranger to navigate files. I mainly use this to quickly visually navigate mounted drives that I did not organize myself.

Hope to hear from you all soon, thanks!

    As a video editor (not professionally…just a hobbyist) anything to do with ffmpeg. Fast and easy to batch convert codecs, etc… Pretty much every function of most FOSS editors are built around ffmpeg, and nearly every function has a CLI equivalent. I mean, yeah, of course for a lot of those you have to have the GUI to see what you’re doing. But there’s plenty that can be done without even needing to open up your editor.
