Any extra tips or tricks are welcome!
Yesterday I learned that set -x enables trace for a bash, sh, or zsh script and prints the trace to the terminal.

In Bash, I like to use cdargs
sudo apt-get install cdargs
It allows you to set up shortcuts on the fly,
cv sdbackup
rather than cd /media/user/Backup Plus/ MyFiles/current/sdbackup
cv with no argument will give you a list to select from current shortcuts
Of those mentioned, this one intrigues me most. Thanks!
My answers (mostly running in powershell - not that it makes much of a difference!)
Rust-based utilities I couldn’t live without:
fd(fd-find) for finding my filesrg(ripgrep) for string searchessd(sed) for search and replacedust(dust) for information about my directorieslsd(aliased tolsorl) for replacingDirbat(better cat) - for when the help pages are too long
Other stuff I love:
Always partial to yq and jq. No easier way to interact with kubernetes outputs on the fly.
Don’t forget about fq!
How I have never heard of yq, I’m unsure, but thank you as I’m sure it will make life easier
I really like jless. You can pipe the JSON output of a cURL command into it and it displays it in a really nice, easy to read way with collapsible arrays and objects.
pv, which is like cat, simply copying files or stdin to stdout, but prints statistics to the terminal.
A related tip:
ddisn’t special in the way most people use it. This works too, if you’re root:pv my-fav-distro.iso > /dev/sdc
