Better CLI tools 2022-06-29T01:42:46+02:00

These are a collection of command line tools that I use (on Windows) in place of the more traditional tools you would find in a *NIX system.

  • What: What is the tool for
  • OG: Conventional tool
  • Better: Better tool to use
  • Lang: Language the tool is written in
  • Multi: Works on all major platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac, *BSD)
What OG Better Lang Multi How to install
