Repositories every developer should know about — not just what's trending today.

ghostty-org/ghosttyHidden Gem

“A terminal emulator built from scratch for speed, with none of the configuration archaeology older terminal emulators tend to require.”

jdx/miseHidden Gem

“Replaces a pile of separate version managers (nvm, pyenv, rbenv...) with one fast tool - a small change that removes a surprising amount of daily friction.”

casey/justHidden Gem

“A command runner that does what most teams actually use Make for, without inheriting Make's tab-sensitivity and legacy baggage.”

iOfficeAI/OfficeCLIHidden Gem

“Gives AI agents a real way to read and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files from the command line - no Office installation required, which quietly removes a whole category of document-automation pain.”

dandavison/deltaHidden Gem

“Turns git's default diff output into something genuinely readable - side-by-side, syntax-highlighted - once you use it, plain git diff feels broken.”

starship/starship

“The shell prompt most developers end up on eventually - fast, shows exactly the context you need (git branch, language versions), and works across every shell.”

sharkdp/bat

“A cat replacement that adds syntax highlighting, line numbers, and git diff markers - small upgrade, but you'll notice it every single day.”

sharkdp/fd

“A find replacement with sane defaults (respects .gitignore, colorized output) - faster to use correctly than remembering find's flag syntax.”

zellij-org/zellijHidden Gem

“A tmux alternative with a much friendlier learning curve - built-in status bar hints mean you're productive on day one instead of memorizing key-binding cheat sheets.”

wez/weztermHidden Gem

“One of the few terminal emulators that's both genuinely fast and deeply scriptable - worth it specifically if you want your terminal configured like code, not a settings menu.”

jesseduffield/lazydockerHidden Gem

“The same lazygit idea applied to Docker - a terminal dashboard for containers, logs, and images that beats memorizing docker CLI flags.”

sxyazi/yaziHidden Gem

“A genuinely fast terminal file manager with image previews and async operations - the rare terminal file manager that doesn't feel like a compromise.”
