Howdy y'all!

I'm curious about everyone's favorite/most used CLI tool! Please include your favorite as well as your use case if you don't mind. Mine is rsync, which I use to keep my home music storage synced with my music player's SD card.

Runner up is ranger to navigate files. I mainly use this to quickly visually navigate mounted drives that I did not organize myself.

Hope to hear from you all soon, thanks!

Most used? Probably...

ls
cd
nano
cat
ssh
ping
grep

Favourite? Probably one of...

yt-dlp_linux (for getting... stuff...)
ffmpeg (for modifying a/v files)
rsync (for pushing files to my media server)

You're still using cd? Zoxide is great!
