A curated list of command-line utilities written in Rust

Note: I have moved this list to a proper repository. I'll leave this gist up, but it won't be updated. To submit an idea, open a PR on the repo.

Note that I have not tried all of these personally, and cannot and do not vouch for all of the tools listed here. In most cases, the descriptions here are copied directly from their code repos. Some may have been abandoned. Investigate before installing/using.

The ones I use regularly include: bat, dust, fd, fend, hyperfine, miniserve, ripgrep, just, cargo-audit and cargo-wipe.

• atuin: "Magical shell history"
• bandwhich: Terminal bandwidth utilization tool

Get the synth wave glow working for VS Code on Mac

These notes are pretty much the same steps as the two extensions list, it's just that I had to collate them together because neither seems to list it fully in the proper order.

1. Install Synthwave ’84/Synthwave + Fluoromachine theme on VS Code (I used the Fluoromachine one)

2. Install Custom CSS and JS Loader

3. Command + Shift + P to open command palette > "Preferences: Open settings (JSON)"

Pull Request Etiquette

Why do we use a Pull Request workflow?

PRs are a great way of sharing information, and can help us be aware of the changes that are occuring in our codebase. They are also an excellent way of getting peer review on the work that we do, without the cost of working in direct pairs.

Ultimately though, the primary reason we use PRs is to encourage quality in the commits that are made to our code repositories

Done well, the commits (and their attached messages) contained within tell a story to people examining the code at a later date. If we are not careful to ensure the quality of these commits, we silently lose this ability.

wrapper around docker that perhaps makes it slightly less insecure

example usage:

DOCKER=/path/to/docker-wrapper
sudo $DOCKER run -it -v /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd -v /tmp:/tmp ubuntu

Enable Docker Remote API with TLS client verification

Docker's Remote API can be secured via TLS and client certificate verification.
First of all you need a few certificates and keys:

• CA certificate
• Server certificate
• Server key
• Client certificate
• Client key

Create certificate files

#!/bin/bash

# Outputs a pipeline that targets agents that have the same 'name' meta-data
# value as the step that does the pipeline upload. This means that all the
# steps will run on the same agent machine, assuming that the 'name' meta-data
# value is unique to each agent.
#
# Each agent needs to be configured with meta-data like so:
#
# meta-data="name=<unique-name>"
