Tools

Each of these has its own --help for more info

Top

• cached Cache the output of a command for a given duration, running it only if there is no cache or it has expired. Stderr is only shown on first run.
• unique Remove any duplicate lines, keeping the first match and preserving order unless sorting is requested.
• namesafe Convert each line to a string that is safe for names (no whitespace or special characters, not too long).
• mon Log the command, the outcome, timings and play a sound.
• grab Filter lines by regular expression, keeping only the matching capture group.
• dir_with / files_with Find directories or files that contain certain files or directories.

Other

• cmadd, cmdo, cmlist, cmdrop - push commands onto a stack, directly or from output, and run them one by one or all at once.
• cmbuf Read input, build commands and buffer them, then run them all. Somewhat like xargs. See also cmadd, cmdo, cmlist, cmdrop
• dir_with Find directories that contain certain files or directories.
• files_with Find files that match certain patterns.
• unique Remove any duplicate lines, keeping the first match and preserving order unless sorting is requested.
• filter Run a test command for each line, keeping the file if the command succeeds
• pomp Parse a tiny subset of pomfiles.
• piped Split into two commands, and pipe the output of the first into the second.
• batched Split stdin into groups of N lines, and pass them to the command
• jl A mix of ls and find that outputs json (use jq)
• between Select all lines between two matches
