I’ve been reading a lot about Rust lately. A few days ago I came across a bunch of common POSIX command line tool replacements written in Rust. Most of them are better in some way.
So, here’s my current list:
cat ➞ bat
https://github.com/sharkdp/bat
du ➞ dust
https://github.com/bootandy/dust
find ➞ fd
https://github.com/sharkdp/fd
find ➞ skim
https://github.com/lotabout/skim
grep ➞ ripgrep
https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep
ls ➞ exa
https://the.exa.website
ps ➞ procs
https://github.com/dalance/procs
sed ➞ sd
https://github.com/chmln/sd
time ➞ hyperfine
https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine
top ➞ zenith
https://github.com/bvaisvil/zenith
wc -l ➞ tokei
https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/tokei
Do you know of any other good command replacement written in Rust?
