I'm on a quest to discover productivity tools that can be used in the Bash terminal for a list I'm creating on devreal.org. It seems like the software development landscape changes so rapidly with new frameworks and GUIs, but I believe the terminal is where real progress happens. With AI's help, executing commands seems way more efficient than clicking through endless menus. I'm specifically looking for applications or scripts that can enhance productivity in Bash. Do you have any suggestions or ideas that would fit into this project?

Are you sure you want an AI to run commands on your system? It could potentially mess things up or even lead to legal issues. Just something to think about!
If you’re looking for productivity in Bash, consider using coreutils, bash itself, tmux, and maybe fzf. Those can help simplify a lot of routine tasks. But I’m curious about what you mean by productivity tools—are you looking for tools developed specifically in Bash?
I’m definitely looking for scripts or programs that introduce new workflows, like using commands such as `cp` or `mv` to create tasks like `do_later NOTE` or `what_to_do`. I also want to establish new conventions for environment variables.
I totally get your point about AI being dangerous. Imagine someone who's not tech-savvy accidentally moving files or sending emails just by speaking. It’s a risky proposition! But my aim with devreal.org is to compile scripts that go beyond basic commands to create more streamlined workflows, like checking product prices or getting bank account balances.
