SnapPoint: A Hard Reset for Your Dev Machine

SnapPoint helps developers audit, clean, and realign their system by finding ghost binaries, PATH conflicts, and leftover tool junk. #clitools

Hacker News debated the `--dry-run` flag in CLI tools. We'll explore its benefits, limitations, and alternative approaches to prevent unintended actions. Key themes include implementation strategies, dry-run accuracy, and the trade-offs between safety and usability. #CLITools 1/6

Microsoft Launches Winapp CLI for Windows App Development - WinBuzzer Microsoft has released the Windows App Development CLI (winapp) in public preview, an open source tool automating Windows packaging for Electron, Rust, and .NET developers.

The enduring power of command-line tools, bash scripts, and SQL for data processing on a single machine remains vital. Understanding the problem and choosing the *right* tool, rather than the trendiest, can lead to significantly more efficient solutions. #CLItools 3/6

Show Listener Processes with Detailed Arguments, using `ss` instead of `netstat` Show Listener Processes with Detailed Arguments, using `ss` instead of `netstat` - ShowListeners.sh

As promised.

A fully-fleshed Bash script of the above.

A snippet of a Bash script that formats output of 'ss -tulpn' in columnar format *and* lists the complete command line that opened the listener. (C) 2026, Pandu POLUAN.

Example output of the Bash script snippet in the previous picture.

and their detailed command lines.

Now using 'ss' instead of 'netstat'

Yes it is still NOT POSIX-compliant.

A key theme was the frustratingly poor defaults in traditional tools like `ss` and `lsof`. "Snitch" addresses the need for CLI apps that are intuitive out-of-the-box, saving users from complex flag memorization. Usability matters! #CLItools 3/6

The debate between CLI vs. IDE for AI coding highlights different developer needs. CLI tools like Claude Code offer flexibility for scripting, while IDE-integrated solutions provide richer context and features for complex project workflows. #CLITools 5/5

Croc is my CLI file transfer tool of choice for many reasons:

1. Simple and intuitive enough to pass the "Anthony didn’t use it in 3 months and can still get it working first time" test.
2. Fully end-to-end […]

HN users discussed Zoxide, a command-line tool for faster directory navigation, comparing it to `cd` history, `autojump`, & `fzf`. They shared pros, cons, and related CLI productivity tips. A deep dive into modern shell workflows. #CLItools 1/6

A key point of contention is what an "app" means on macOS. Is `Application Support` exclusively for `.app` bundles, or does it also include command-line tools? This interpretation heavily influences where CLI configs *should* reside. 🤔 #CLItools 3/6

The shift towards CLI-based coding agents offers significant advantages: enhanced flexibility, scriptability, and the freedom to use preferred IDEs. This represents a powerful new way to integrate AI into development workflows. #CLITools 4/6

Your API doesn’t need to be public to be powerful.

With APIARK you get:
🛡️ Secure HTTPS endpoint

My golang knowledge is pretty basic. I had to do some updates to a product at work, and it was pretty easy and straight forward. Actually quite fun. Just to learn more golang, I started working on a cli-tool for my Niri setup, and it's actually pretty usable already.
I just want to polish it and […]

While `lsr`'s `io_uring` benefits might be small for common tasks, it could shine in specific scenarios. Imagine listing huge directories or interacting with inherently slow storage—here, asynchronous I/O could offer tangible improvements. #CLItools 3/6
