Blog/Software tools I like (Jan 2025)

From ~esantoro

It just occurred to me that there are software tools I like that either aren't well known (to others) or aren't known enough so that I can easily find them.

In this page I want to list a few of those, along with links, mainly so I can get back at this list later in the future.

  • boring ssh tunnel manager (another tool found, lost and then found again)
  • goto (not sure which one)
  • most (a cool unix pager)
  • gossm (a nice tool to access ec2 instances via systems manager)
  • iridakos/goto: simple tool to record directory aliases in the shell
  • I will
    • add
      • further tools
        • here

(but why?)

I used to use a small utility written in go called goto that allowed me to associate a name with a local path and just type "goto <directoryname>" to change the current directory to that path. I can't find that utility anymore. It might be golang-goto or goto (or maybe iridakos/goto ... I have to check)
