On this page I list a bunch of (developer) tools I enjoy using in my work and elsewhere.

repx (link)

repx is to sed, what awk is grep.

Yes yes, I’m old now and sd and rg exist, but they didn’t back then!

repx was previously named prex, but has been renamed due to a pre-existing package in PyPI called prex.

pqon (link)

A version of jq that I can understand.

pqon was previously named jason, but has been renamed due to a pre-existing package in PyPI called jason. pqon has also previously been mentioned as janus on this page.

difftree (link)

Easily get a small overview of what changed between two folders.

UNIX’s diff -qr can also do this to some extent. Alternately, rsync --dry-run -c -r -v.

difftree was previously named dirdiff, but has been renamed due to a pre-existing package in PyPI called dirdiff.
