A clever bunch of functions for prettifying your shell scripts. Nice inputs, menu selections, option filtering, and more.

Peter Forret created a cool bash script that performs a cpu benchmark using ffmpeg and primitive. If you fork the repo and run it, you can commit the results and create a pull request to add them to the repo. Nobody seems to have done it (other than me), but I'd be curious to see a few more results from M1 machines, as well as comparisons to Intel machines. Pitch in if you feel the same!

A handy shell parser, formatter and interpreter. Includes `shfmt`, a great tool for beautifying bash scripts.

Probably because of my Jekyll usage and Ruby in general, I've taken to creating most configuration files in YAML instead of JSON. Parsing it from a bash script has always been a pain, though...

Simply a "guide to learn bash." If you want to get into more command line work and bash scripting, this is an excellent compendium of the basics. Also see Peter Stephenson's ["A User's Guide to the Z-Shell."](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/zshguide.html)

Apparix is a CLI that augments directory navigation with bookmarks, distant listing, and distant editing. I need to dig deeper on this one, but thus far it's [`bashmarks`](https://github.com/huyng/bashmarks) on steroids.

A "cURL-like tool for humans." If you've ever written out long curl commands with a bunch of headers and `-d data` arguments when testing an API, this is a much more humane option. Via [OneThingWell](http://onethingwell.org/post/129412391471) (as seems to be the case at least once a week, so you should probably watch posts there as well).

As far as command line directory navigation goes, this one seems pretty awesome so far.

A smart history search with fuzzy matching for Bash and Zsh. There's a hack for overriding Ctrl-R with it, too (`bind '"\C-r": "\C-a hh \C-j"').

A scripting language that compiles to Bash, but is much friendlier to code than Bash. It's lacking a few finer details at this point, but it's a brilliant idea that's totally usable right now. It's being consistenty developed, too, so I have a certain amount of hope that this will become a "thing."
