Tools

eza (replaces ls)

Fast, colorized directory listing with git integration.

ls    # eza --color=always --group-directories-first --icons
la    # eza -la (all files, long format)
ll    # eza -l (long format)
lt    # eza --tree --level=2

bat (replaces cat)

Syntax-highlighted file viewer with git integration.

cat file.py  # bat (syntax highlighting, line numbers)

Uses the base16 theme to match your terminal colors.

zoxide (replaces cd)

Smart directory navigation that learns your habits.

cd projects  # z projects (fuzzy match from history)

Initialized in .bashrc with eval "$(zoxide init bash)".

fzf (fuzzy finder)

General-purpose fuzzy finder for files, history, and more.

ff            # fuzzy find files (find + fzf)
eff           # fuzzy find and edit (find + fzf + nvim)
fcd           # fuzzy find directory and cd
Ctrl+R        # fuzzy search command history

ripgrep (rg)

Fast recursive text search (replaces grep for code search).

rg "pattern"           # search current directory
rg -t py "pattern"     # search only Python files

fd (replaces find)

Fast, user-friendly file finder.

fd "pattern"           # find files matching pattern
fd -e py               # find all Python files

Configuration

All aliases are defined in ~/.bashrc. The tools themselves use sensible defaults and don’t require separate config files.
