Modern CLI Tools: a Daily Workflow with fzf, ripgrep, fd, bat, eza, zoxide and jq
Because ripgrep and fd respect .gitignore, they find fewer but correct results than grep in the Bookstore repo, about 90 times faster; fzf is a picker you can put in front of any list. We cover installing the tools with brew, winget and apt (Ubuntu's fdfind/batcat names and old fzf), Ctrl-R/Ctrl-T integration, branch and test pickers, processing API, dotnet package list and npm ls output with jq, and why scripts shouldn't depend on these tools.
