This is a collection of awesome commandline application, including tutorials, hints and tips how to make them even more awesome, how to set them up and how to rock the commandline.
Who needs a graphical interface - me, some time ago
First of all: Everything is a folder. We do not list simple links here, we collect data. This means: Each tool gets its own folder, and in the markdown files in this folder, we collect information.
Standard files per directory:
- README.md - The "Home"-page for the tool, list basic information here
- external.md - A list of external resources not available in this repository. Explain each resource!
All other files are optional, but I suggest files like config.md
for cool
configuration tips for the tools and combining.md
for combining the tool with
other tools.
Another thing is: As we categorize all the things (and categories are single
words, not something like "Archives and Compression"
), we use symlinks for
putting tools in two categories at once. Always put a tool which should be in
two categories into the category which comes alphabetically first!
The special directory __incoming
contains folders for tools which are not
yet sorted.
