A curated list of command-line utilities written in Rust

A curated list of command-line utilities written in Rust

Note: I have moved this list to a proper repository. I'll leave this gist up, but it won't be updated. To submit an idea, open a PR on the repo.

Note that I have not tried all of these personally, and cannot and do not vouch for all of the tools listed here. In most cases, the descriptions here are copied directly from their code repos. Some may have been abandoned. Investigate before installing/using.

The ones I use regularly include: bat, dust, fd, fend, hyperfine, miniserve, ripgrep, just, cargo-audit and cargo-wipe.

  • atuin: "Magical shell history"
  • bandwhich: Terminal bandwidth utilization tool

Best Practices for Clean Code
  1. Use descriptive and obvious names.
    • Don't use abbreviations, use full English words. player is better than plr.
    • Name things as directly as possible. wasCalled is better than hasBeenCalled. notify is better than doNotification.
    • Name booleans as if they are yes or no questions. isFirstRun is better than firstRun.
    • Name functions using verb forms: increment is better than plusOne. unzip is better than filesFromZip.
    • Name event handlers to express when they run. onClick is better than click.
    • Put statements and expressions in positive form.
      • isFlying instead of isNotFlying. late intead of notOnTime.
      • Lead with positive conditionals. Avoid if not something then ... else ... end.
  • If we only care about the inverse of a variable, turn it into a positive name. missingValue instead of not hasValue.
