GAM
Command line management for Google Workspace
GAM is a command line tool that allows administrators to manage many aspects of their Google Workspace (formerly G Suite / Google Apps) Account. This page provides simple instructions for downloading, installing and starting to use GAM. GAM requires paid (or Education/non-profit) editions of Google Workspace. G Suite Legacy Free Edition has limited API support and not all GAM commands work. While many GAM functions do not require domain administrative privileges, the setup does. Download GAM, then run the MSI installer. By default, GAM will install to C:\GAM but you can change this to wherever you prefer. GAM will also be added to your path so you can run GAM even if you're not in the GAM folder. At the end of the MSI install process, GAM will open a command prompt to allow you to setup a project and authorize GAM for admin management and user data/config access. -

PAL MCP
The power of Claude Code / GeminiCLI / CodexCLI
PAL MCP is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to act as a powerful middleware layer that connects AI clients and tools—like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, and IDE plugins—to a broad range of underlying AI models, enabling collaborative multi-model workflows rather than relying on a single model. It lets developers orchestrate interactions across multiple models (including Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, Azure, Ollama, OpenRouter, and custom/self-hosted models), preserving conversation context seamlessly as tasks evolve and substeps run across tools. By supporting conversation threading and context passing, pal-mcp-server helps maintain continuity during complex processes like code reviews, automated planning, implementation, and validation, allowing models to “debate” or weigh in on specific subtasks for better outcomes. -

aws-cli
Universal Command Line Interface for Amazon Web Services
The AWS CLI is the universal command-line interface for managing AWS services, automating tasks, and scripting cloud workflows. It exposes nearly every public API from EC2 and S3 to IAM, Lambda, and beyond, providing parity with the service SDKs in a tool you can run anywhere. Profiles, regions, single-sign-on, and credential helpers make it straightforward to switch contexts securely across accounts and environments. Its output controls and JMESPath querying let you slice, filter, and transform JSON responses directly in the shell, which is essential for automation. Waiters, paginators, and retries handle long-running or large list operations cleanly so scripts are resilient. The CLI’s stability and extensive documentation make it a cornerstone for CI/CD, incident response, and day-to-day operations. -

cheat.sh
The only cheat sheet you need
cheat.sh is a compact, network-accessible cheat-sheet service that serves concise examples and usage notes for hundreds of shell commands, programming languages, and tools via a simple HTTP interface. You can query it from the terminal (for example curl cht.sh/rsync or curl cheat.sh/ls) or browse the web front page; it also supports a shorthand hostname (cht.sh) and provides both online and standalone/local installation modes. The repository contains the server and client code, instructions to run a local standalone instance (including Python virtualenv setup), and tooling to fetch or maintain the upstream cheat-sheet data; installation documentation explains disk-space needs and dependency setup for offline use. Cheat.sh is intentionally minimal and scriptable, so it fits naturally into shells, CI scripts, editors, and quick lookups without leaving the terminal, while also offering ways to extend or host personal cheat sheets. -

git-delete-merged-branches
Command-line tool to delete merged Git branches
A convenient command-line tool helping you keep repositories clean. Supports deletion of both local and remote branches. Detects multiple forms of de-facto merges (rebase merges, squash merges (needs --effort=3), single or range cherry-picks… leveraging git cherry). Supports workflows with multiple release branches, e.g. only delete branches that have been merged to all of master, dev and staging. Quick interactive configuration. Provider agnostic: Works with GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and any other Git hosting. Takes safety seriously. Deletion is a sharp knife that requires care. While git reflog would have your back in most cases, git-delete-merged-branches takes safety seriously. git push is used with --force-with-lease so if the server and you have a different understanding of that branch, it is not deleted. There is no use of os.system or shell code to go wrong. -

tccutil.py
Command line tool to modify OS X's accessibility database (TCC.db)
Apple has a utility in /usr/bin named tccutil, but it only supports one command, which is to reset the entire database. It has been like this for many versions of macOS. I wanted a command-line utility that would be able to add, remove, list, and take other actions. This tool needs SIP disabled in order to function. The risk of doing so is up to you. tccutil.py can be installed without any additional software. Depending how you have your $PATH variable setup, you can simply type tccutil (instead of the full path) and it will run this utility instead of Apple's. This utility needs super-user priveleges for most operations. It is important that you either run this as root or use sudo, otherwise it won't work and you will end up with “permission denied” errors. -

PathPicker
Accepts a wide range of input, output from git commands & grep results
PathPicker accepts a wide range of input, output from git commands, grep results, searches, pretty much anything. After parsing the input, PathPicker presents you with a nice UI to select which files you're interested in. After that you can open them in your favorite editor or execute arbitrary commands. Facebook PathPicker is a simple command line tool that solves the perpetual problem of selecting files out of bash output. Bash is fully supported and works the best. ZSH is supported as well, but won't have a few features like alias expansion in command line mode. csh/fish/rc are supported in the latest version, but might have quirks or issues in older versions of PathPicker. Note: if your default shell and current shell is not in the same family (bash/zsh... v.s. fish/rc), you need to manually export environment variable $SHELL to your current shell. -

aws-encryption-sdk-cli
CLI wrapper around aws-encryption-sdk-python
This command line tool can be used to encrypt and decrypt files and directories using the AWS Encryption SDK. If you have not already installed cryptography, you might need to install additional prerequisites as detailed in the cryptography installation guide for your operating system. Installation using a python virtual environment is recommended to avoid conflicts between system packages and user-installed packages. For the most part, the behavior of aws-encryption-cli in handling files is based on that of GNU CLIs such as cp. A qualifier to this is that when encrypting a file, if a directory is provided as the destination, rather than creating the source filename in the destination directory, a suffix is appended to the destination filename. By default the suffix is .encrypted when encrypting and .decrypted when decrypting, but a custom suffix can be provided by the caller if desired. -

Ansible Molecule
Molecule aids in the development and testing of Ansible roles
Molecule project is designed to aid in the development and testing of Ansible roles. Molecule provides support for testing with multiple instances, operating systems and distributions, virtualization providers, test frameworks and testing scenarios. Molecule encourages an approach that results in consistently developed roles that are well-written, easily understood and maintained. Molecule supports only the latest two major versions of Ansible (N/N-1), meaning that if the latest version is 2.9.x, we will also test our code with 2.8.x. Depending on the driver chosen, you may need to install additional OS packages. See INSTALL.rst, which is created when initializing a new scenario. Ansible is not listed as a direct dependency of molecule package because we only call it as a command-line tool. You may want to install it using your distribution package installer. It is your responsibility to assure that soft dependencies of Ansible are available on your controller or host machines. -

Big Sleep
A simple command line tool for text to image generation
A simple command line tool for text to image generation, using OpenAI's CLIP and a BigGAN. Ryan Murdock has done it again, combining OpenAI's CLIP and the generator from a BigGAN! This repository wraps up his work so it is easily accessible to anyone who owns a GPU. You will be able to have the GAN dream-up images using natural language with a one-line command in the terminal. User-made notebook with bug fixes and added features, like google drive integration. Images will be saved to wherever the command is invoked. If you have enough memory, you can also try using a bigger vision model released by OpenAI for improved generations. You can set the number of classes that you wish to restrict Big Sleep to use for the Big GAN with the --max-classes flag as follows (ex. 15 classes). This may lead to extra stability during training, at the cost of lost expressivity. -

mypy-baseline
Integrate mypy in seconds with existing codebase
A CLI tool for painless integration of mypy with an existing Python project. When you run it for the first time, it will remember all types of errors that you already have in the project (generate “baseline”). All consecutive runs will ignore these errors and report only the ones that you introduced after that. -

node-gyp
Node.js native addon build tool
node-gyp is a cross-platform command-line tool written in Node.js for compiling native addon modules for Node.js. It contains a vendored copy of the gyp-next project that was previously used by the Chromium team, extended to support the development of Node.js native addons. Note that node-gyp is not used to build Node.js itself. Multiple target versions of Node.js are supported (i.e. 0.8, ..., 4, 5, 6, etc.), regardless of what version of Node.js is actually installed on your system (node-gyp downloads the necessary development files or headers for the target version). node-gyp requires that you have installed a compatible version of Python, one of: v3.6, v3.7, v3.8, or v3.9. If you have multiple Python versions installed, you can identify which Python version node-gyp should use. A binding.gyp file describes the configuration to build your module, in a JSON-like format. This file gets placed in the root of your package, alongside package.json. -

CineCLI
CineCLI is a cross-platform command-line movie browser
CineCLI is a command-line utility designed to help movie lovers quickly browse, search, and access film information from the terminal without needing a graphical interface. It connects to popular online movie databases to fetch metadata such as titles, release dates, ratings, genres, casts, posters, and plot summaries, presenting all of that in a concise, text-friendly format suitable for terminals or scripts. Users can search by keyword, year, or exact title and then drill into detailed views for individual films, making it useful for creating watchlists, learning more about films before watching, or integrating movie lookup into shell workflows. CineCLI also supports paginated results and filters so users can navigate large search outputs without overwhelming their screens. Because it runs entirely from the command line, it’s ideal for developers, movie enthusiasts in headless environments, or anyone who prefers text-based tools over web browsers. -

OpenDrop
An open Apple AirDrop implementation written in Python
OpenDrop is a command-line tool that allows sharing files between devices directly over Wi-Fi. Its unique feature is that it is protocol-compatible with Apple AirDrop which allows to share files with Apple devices running iOS and macOS. Currently (and probably also for the foreseeable future), OpenDrop only supports sending to Apple devices that are discoverable by everybody as the default contacts-only mode requires Apple-signed certificates. We support contacts-only devices by using extracted AirDrop credentials (keys and certificates) from macOS via our keychain extractor. OpenDrop is experimental software and is the result of reverse engineering efforts by the Open Wireless Link project. Therefore, it does not support all features of AirDrop or might be incompatible with future AirDrop versions. OpenDrop is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple Inc. Use this code at your own risk. -

S3cmd
Command line tool for managing Amazon S3 and CloudFront services
S3cmd (s3cmd) is a free command line tool and client for uploading, retrieving and managing data in Amazon S3 and other cloud storage service providers that use the S3 protocol, such as Google Cloud Storage or DreamHost DreamObjects. It is best suited for power users who are familiar with command-line programs. It is also ideal for batch scripts and automated backup to S3, triggered from cron, etc. S3cmd is written in Python. It's an open-source project available under GNU Public License v2 (GPLv2) and is free for both commercial and private use. You will only have to pay Amazon for using their storage. Lots of features and options have been added to S3cmd, since its very first release in 2008.... we recently counted more than 60 command-line options, including multipart uploads, encryption, incremental backup, s3 sync, ACL and Metadata management, S3 bucket size, bucket policies, and more! -

shot-scraper
A command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of websites
shot-scraper is a command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of web pages using a headless browser engine. After installation, a single command can capture a full-page screenshot of a URL and save it to a file, making it ideal for documentation, monitoring, and visual regression tasks. Under the hood it uses a modern browser (installed via a one-time shot-scraper install step) and exposes options for viewport size, full-page versus clipped screenshots, and device emulation. Beyond simple captures, it can run custom JavaScript before taking the shot, allowing you to open menus, scroll, or manipulate the DOM so the screenshot reflects the desired state. The project is deeply integrated with automation workflows: examples show it running in scheduled jobs, GitHub Actions, and bots that publish screenshots to social media or use them in docs. It ships with detailed documentation, a tutorial, and a template repository that lets you spin up an automated screenshot pipeline. -

PlaystoreDownloader
A command line tool to download Android applications
A command line tool to download Android applications directly from the Google Play Store by specifying their package name (an initial one-time configuration is required) PlaystoreDownloader is a tool for downloading Android applications directly from the Google Play Store. After an initial (one-time) configuration, applications can be downloaded by specifying their package name. There are two ways of getting a working copy of PlaystoreDownloader on your own computer: either by using Docker or by using directly the source code in a Python 3 environment. In both cases, the first thing to do is to get a local copy of this repository, so open up a terminal in the directory where you want to save the project and clone the repository. Apart from valid Google Play Store credentials, the only requirement of this project is a working Python 3 (at least 3.7) installation and pipenv (for dependency management). -

Pyright
Static type checker for Python
Pyright is a fast type checker meant for large Python source bases. It can run in a “watch” mode and performs fast incremental updates when files are modified. Pyright supports configuration files that provide granular control over settings. Different “execution environments” can be associated with subdirectories within a source base. Each environment can specify different module search paths, python language versions, and platform targets. Type inference for function return values, instance variables, class variables, and globals. Type guards that understand conditional code flow constructs like if/else statements. Type hinting generics in standard collections. Pyright ships as both a command-line tool and a VS Code extension that provides many powerful features that help improve programming efficiency. The VS Code extension supports many time-saving language features. -

ggshield
Detect and validate 500+ types of hardcoded secrets
GitGuardian’s ggshield is an open-source command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to help developers and security teams detect hardcoded secrets and sensitive credentials early in the development process, either locally or in CI/CD pipelines. It scans source code, configuration files, commit history, and other artifacts to automatically detect hundreds of different secret types — such as API keys, tokens, and passwords — helping prevent accidental leaks before they reach version control or production environments. ggshield can be used interactively on a developer’s machine, integrated as a pre-commit or pre-push git hook, and run as part of automated build or merge workflows to enforce security policies consistently across teams. It works across major operating systems using Python, and offers standalone packaged binaries for environments where Python isn’t available, making it adaptable to a wide range of developer setups. -
25
repren
Rename anything
Repren is a “rename anything” command-line tool that performs regex-based search and replace across file contents while also renaming or moving files and directories according to patterns. It’s meant for sweeping refactors: change a class or package name everywhere and update filenames to match in one pass. The design favors explicitness and safety, providing dry-run output so you can preview exactly what will change before executing it. It handles recursive directory walks, lets you filter which files to touch, and supports multiple patterns in a single run to keep transformations consistent. Because it’s script-friendly, it slots well into project maintenance, codebase migrations, or release engineering tasks. The goal is to give you a reliable, repeatable alternative to ad-hoc shell loops when large-scale text and filename changes are needed.
