The command-line is the place for doing all of my work, however depending on your background dev platform or tools might not be your thing?

As a long time developer, I started as a prompt style developer because that was all there was until Visual InterDev was introduced to me.

After going through tools like Eclipse for Java, various Visual Studio iterations for .NET; I found myself getting back to the command-line when node.js hit the development world.

Today, it is rare that I use the mouse to get around in my daily dev tasks.

  • git
  • .NET Core : dotnet
  • Node.js, JavaScript : node, npm, yarn, vue, ng
  • Azure : az
  • Docker, Kubernetes : docker, kubectl

If there's a command-line tool, I am all over it and usually writing some handy bash script to make it even easier.

What are your tools of choice?
