I really enjoy `x-cmd`

https://github.com/x-cmd/x-cmd

A vast and interesting collection of CLI that can then bootstrap lots of other programs / functions in a consistent and structured way (X bootstrap 1000+ tools and your scripts)

Re:GraphicsMagick – a Swiss army knife of image processing on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @10:43PM (#41452995)
It's worth noting that GraphicsMagick is originally derived from ImageMagick 5.5.2 as of November 2002 but has been completely independent of the ImageMagick project since then.

Thank you for sharing, I like this feature.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (August 2024) on Thursday August 01, 2024 @10:47PM (#41135686)
I'm involved in developing x-cmd. We've been focused on developing new features and optimizing user experience. We occasionally promote it on social media and Hack News, but the results have been poor, which is frustrating.

Do you have a habit of checking your disk health? I check mine every month to prevent disk corruption and data loss.

If you are interested in smartctl, here is a demo: https://x-cmd.com/1min/smartctl

An awesome project, I learned about it last year through developing the x-cmd pkg, at that time the latest version was 0.5.7, now it's 1.0.2, it seems necessary to upgrade the version.

Here is a demo video, you can take a look: https://x-cmd.com/pkg/doggo

Re:Helix: A post-modern text editor on Sunday May 26, 2024 @10:36PM (#40487151)
Oh, it's really cool, I like it a lot. I often use it and micro in Docker and servers to replace vim (to be honest, I don't like vim, I find it difficult to use -- just my personal opinion), with x-cmd I can quickly use helix and micro, just x hx, x micro.

x-cmd is a great CLI that I've been using recently, and it has significantly streamlined my workflow. x-cmd is very lightweight (no more than 1MB) and offers a range of interactive CLI tools. now there are more than 210 modules, more than 520 packages. Additionally, you can even combine the module functions with AI (openai, gemini,mistral...).

example: x wkp extract 'Apple M4' | @gemini 'Apple M4 release date'

Search for extract about Apple M4 on Wikipedia and parse it using Gemini AI

I like lobsters, but I can't join the discussion. Can you invite me? thanks
Portable, a tool that runs anything anywhere

I like x-cmd because its package system is written in more compatible posix-shell and awk, resulting in much smaller loading and startup overhead. Additionally, x-cmd integrates with asdf and provides AI support, along with over 200 modules for various command enhancements

This is great, thank you!
