Howdy y’all!
I’m curious about everyone’s favorite/most used CLI tool! Please include your favorite as well as your use case if you don’t mind. Mine is rsync, which I use to keep my home music storage synced with my music player’s SD card.
Runner up is ranger to navigate files. I mainly use this to quickly visually navigate mounted drives that I did not organize myself.
Hope to hear from you all soon, thanks!


I use flac to encode wav/aiff files to flac and to read flac fingerprints (md5) from flac files. I mainly use ffmpeg for ripping subtitles from mp4 files, but it’s a pretty versatile tool.
