What are some alternatives to picocli, Inshellisense?
Starship (Shell Prompt)
Starship is the minimal, blazing fast, and extremely customizable prompt for any shell! The prompt shows information you need while you're working, while staying sleek and out of the way.
TortoiseSVN
It is an Apache™ Subversion (SVN)® client, implemented as a Windows shell extension. It's intuitive and easy to use, since it doesn't require the Subversion command line client to run. And it is free to use, even in a commercial environment.
tmux
It enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.
Oh My ZSH
A delightful, open source, community-driven framework for managing your Zsh configuration. It comes bundled with thousands of helpful functions, helpers, plugins, themes.
Try
It lets you run a command and inspect its effects before changing your live system. It uses Linux's namespaces (via unshare) and the overlayfs union filesystem.
Bash-My-AWS
It is a simple but extremely powerful set of CLI commands for managing resources on Amazon Web Services. They harness the power of Amazon's AWSCLI, while abstracting away verbosity. The project implements some innovative patterns but (arguably) remains simple, beautiful and readable.
navi
It allows you to browse through cheatsheets (that you may write yourself or download from maintainers) and execute commands, prompting for argument values.
fzf
It is a general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder. It's an interactive Unix filter for command-line that can be used with any list; files, command history, processes, hostnames, bookmarks, git commits, etc.
Scoop.sh
It installs programs to your home directory by default. So you don’t need admin permissions to install programs, and you won’t see UAC popups every time you need to add or remove a program.
Dockerized
Run popular command-line tools within docker. It works on Linux, MacOS, and Windows (CMD, Powershell, Git Bash). You can quickly try out command line tools without the effort of downloading and installing them.
