## Useful commandline utilities
1. Listing brew packages:
- `brew list` - list all packages
- `brew cask list` - list packages installed using caskroom
- `brew leaves` - list all top-level packages
- `brew deps --tree --installed` - list all packages with a nicely formatted
dependency tree
2. Viewing config of homebrew: `brew config`
3. `bat filename` - '**bat**' is a modern replacement of '**cat**' which shows a
source file on console with full syntax highlighting
4. Alternative to '**ls**' :
- `exa` - list all files
- `exa -la` - list all files including hidden files
- `exa -laT` - list all files under current directory in a tree format
5. Find any directory : `fd search_keyword`
6. Advanve grep: `rg` (**ripgrep**) for finding strings among the files under
current directory (_SSSHHHH, don't tell anyone, this is lighting fast!!!_)
```bash
rg 'string to search'
```
7. Viewing a HEX file : `hexyl filename` - it shows the file in three columns in
format: byte | hex | representation
8. HTTPie : a modern replacement of **curl**. It uses the following format :
```bash
http POST link key=value
```
9. `pstree` command shows the running processes as a tree
10. **htop** is an interactive process viewer run by the command `htop`
11. `tig` for interactively browsing git repositories
12. You should give some fuck to your typos. So here it is, the legendary NSFW
command `fuck`
13. `neofetch` command shows the system details
14. `nnn` is a full-featured terminal file manager.It's tiny,extremely light and
fast.

available disk space.
19. `lftp` is a sophisticated file transfer program supporting a number of
network protocols (ftp,http,sftp,fish,torrent).
20. `fzf` is a general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder.It's an interactive
Unix filter for command-line that can be used with any list; files, command
