### Just a couple Tools i enjoy

ZSH+oh-my-Zsh+Powerline is the basic combo to make it look great.

- [neofetch](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch) - add it to the end of you .bashrc/.zshrc for a nice overview over your system.
- mlocate - indexing files for an easier search
- mtr - better traceroute
- dig - part of "bind-tools" - useful for fixing dns error
- ncdu and baobab - find out what eats all the disk space
- [tldr](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr) and [navi](https://github.com/denisidoro/navi) - quick helper that show available options the commands have

##### Replacements:

- ls: [colorls](https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls) or [exa](https://github.com/ogham/exa) - just makes it looks better
- htop: [glances](https://nicolargo.github.io/glances/) or [bpytop](https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop) - easier remote monitoring and more
