A modern ls with colours, icons and git awareness. The site timed out; the project is now maintained as eza.

Superseded by a fork that kept going.

What it is sold for

Unverified: the site would not answer.

Same shelf

The rest of terminal and cli, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.

agx

Runs coding agents as long-lived workers with objectives and memory, so a session survives being interrupted.
AICommits

A small CLI that writes the commit message from the staged diff.
Amazon Q Developer CLI

Amazon Q in the terminal: completion for hundreds of CLIs, natural language chat and command generation.
bat

A replacement for cat with syntax highlighting, line numbers and git markers, paged by default.
Butterfish

Puts a model inside the shell itself, so the prompt and the terminal are the same prompt.
ccr

A searchable shell history that is project-aware, synced and encrypted, replacing reverse search.
codachi

A virtual pet that lives in the Claude Code status line and reacts to what you are doing.
Fig did not answer

Brought IDE-style autocomplete to the terminal. Acquired by Amazon and folded into Amazon Q. The site returns a server error.
