List of tools and hacks I use for day-to-day development.

My Tools

This is a list of tools I use for day to day working. This repo will also eventually include any custom tools I might use.

HTTPie

HTTPie is a more user-friendly version of cURL that gives a pretty output of data and has friendlier parameters.

jq

jq is a tool that essentially pretty prints JSON piped into it in the CLI.

jid

jid is just like jq except it allows you to interact with the JSON in various ways such as filtering in real time or finding a specific value.

http-prompt

http-prompt is an interactive version of HTTPie. It allows you to navigate a website in what is essentially a shell-like way using commands such as cd to navigate to different levels.

autojump

Autojump is a tool that works by maintaining a database of the directories you use the most from the command line allowing you to jump back to them quickly based on different things such as the files they contain.

peco

Peco is a cool tool that allows you to filter anything like grep except in an interactive way so that you can "filter as you think".
