Although not built in, we have a list of easy to install command-line utilities for macOS.

You might find one you've never heard of that is useful! :)

Kinda related: does anyone else regularly finds CLI tools, installs them and never ever even call them once?
That's the difference between recall memory and recognition memory. The GUI took off because we can recognize a menu and easily figure out where we need to go, versus having to memorize obscure and cryptic commands. Honestly having a LLM spit out command line arguments is probably the best way forward if things don't have a GUI.
Yes, been there, forgot that. I have since created a shell helper function that prints a list of "new and cool" CLI tools that I recently added to my dotfiles setup, which helps me committing them to long-term memory.
It happens but Ctrl-R has helped me get much better at finding commands I’ve used even just once before based on some tiny thing I remember about them.
Ha, when I search through my history I usually find I ran them exactly once, right after installing, and then forgot all about them. But there are some exceptions, I often use httpie instead of curl, MTR is great, I am liking doggo instead of dig...
This looks like a list of cross-platform command line tools. What about it is Mac-specific?
I found a tool of mine submitted by someone else on the site (pleasant surprise!) and I want to update the description and add a more recent/better image. How would I do that?
