Encrypted backups with a clean and simple interface; easy to use and set up; possibility to mount the backup archive with FUSE and inspect it as a regular file system.

"Recursive directory listing command that produces a depth indented listing of files".

"A minimal implementation of the UNIX tree command with colors!"

gcp is an advanced file copier tool, heavily inspired from the traditional cp command utility, but with some additional features. Displays the copy progress indicator, with estimated time, current file speed; logs of all actions; resume of interrupted copy processes.

Rogue-like game derived from nethack offering extra features, monsters, and items; includes a GUI version.

Fast and powerful open source alternative to grep; it targets flexibility and performance: can be as fast as "regular" grep and allows to specify complex expressions to find text.

Greps regular expressions in a text file(s) and prints out the paragraphs containing those expressions; a paragraph is defined as a block of text delimited by an empty or blank line; fully customizable via command line parameters.

(The silver searcher) is a text search utility targeted to source code; it skips versioning systems data directories; it is inspired by ack, but faster.

A tool like grep optimized for programmers; written in Perl, it speeds up searches thanks to skipping non interesting directories, such as .git.

Executes SQL-like queries on CSVs/TSVs tabular data files; each tabular file is treated as a database table; support to all SQL constructs (WHERE, GROUP BY, JOIN).

Utility that allows users to choose one option from a set of choices using an interface with fuzzy search functionality.

A Python script that

1) receives input lines from stdin or a file,
2) lists the input lines and waits for input that filter/select the line(s),
3) outputs the selected line(s) to stdout;

Can be used to add interactivity to many regular shell commands.

(JSON Query?) is sed-like processor for JSON data; can be used to process JSON files and data streams and perform operations such as those allowed by cat, sed, grep and awk on regular text files.

(Generic Colouriser) can be configured to parse a given text stream and to colorize it according to regexp written in configuration files; different patterns can be associated to file types.

A cat command with colorized output.

A program that tries to improve FIGlet; can load FIGlet fonts; supports Unicode input and output, colour fonts and output, and various output formats, including HTML, IRC and ANSI; uses libcaca to produce nice textual effects.

Not exactly a font manager, but a nice program for making large letters out of ordinary text; an astonishing number of different fonts is available.

From the website: "WordGrinder is a word processor for processing words. It is not WYSIWYG. It is not point and click. It is not a desktop publisher. It is not a text editor. It does not do fonts and it barely does styles. What it does do is words. It's designed for writing text. It gets out of your way and lets you type."

"a modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient vim-like editor", and more: "The intention is not to be bug for bug compatible with vim, instead a similar editing experience should be provided. The goal could thus be summarized as 80% of vim's features implemented in roughly 1% of the code"; the editor is scriptable in LUA and supports editing large files.

Historically one of the preferred text editors; behavior based on editing modes; plenty of plugins and tips to address every possible editing problem.
