I was already using bat, but I only really scratched the surface of everything it could do. From the video description:

If you enjoy bat, may I also recommend you try:

  • eza as an alternative to ls
  • zoxide as an alternative to cd
  • fd as an alternative to find
  • fzf paired with fd for enhanced reverse searching and more
  • delta for syntax highlighting pager for git, diff, grep, blame output

I’ve been using these for probably around 5-10 years / daily, without issue.

Pretty much same, except I use erdtree instead of eza

I never used erdtree. What do you like about it that is different from eza?

dinckelman@lemmy.world on 06 Sep 21:17 collapse

I’ve found it before I’ve heard about eza, but i think it generally fits my needs better. erdtree combines features of ls, tree, and find, in a way that’s convenient for me

This is a great video. I always appreciate a deeper look into tools like this.
