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. -

dirsearch
Web path scanner
An advanced command-line tool designed to brute force directories and files in webservers, AKA web path scanner. Wordlist is a text file, each line is a path. About extensions, unlike other tools, dirsearch only replaces the %EXT% keyword with extensions from -e flag. For wordlists without %EXT% (like SecLists), -f | --force-extensions switch is required to append extensions to every word in wordlist, as well as the /. To use multiple wordlists, you can separate your wordlists with commas. Example: wordlist1.txt,wordlist2.txt. Default values for dirsearch flags can be edited in the configuration file: default.conf. The thread number (-t | --threads) reflects the number of separated brute force processes. And so the bigger the thread number is, the faster dirsearch runs. By default, the number of threads is 30, but you can increase it if you want to speed up the progress. -

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. -

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). -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

Manticore
Symbolic execution tool
Manticore helps us quickly take advantage of symbolic execution, taint analysis, and instrumentation to analyze binaries. Parts of Manticore underpinned our symbolic execution capabilities in the Cyber Grand Challenge. As an open-source tool, we hope that others can take advantage of these capabilities in their own projects. We prioritized simplicity and usability while building Manticore. We used minimal external dependencies and our API should look familiar to anyone with exploitation or reversing background. If you have never used such a tool before, give Manticore a try. Manticore comes with an easy-to-use command line tool that quickly generates new program “test cases” (or sample inputs) with symbolic execution. Each test case results in a unique outcome when running the program, like a normal process exit or crash (e.g., invalid program counter, invalid memory read/write). -

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. -

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! -

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. -

q - Text as Data
Run SQL directly on CSV or TSV files
q is a command line tool that allows direct execution of SQL-like queries on CSVs/TSVs (and any other tabular text files). q treats ordinary files as database tables, and supports all SQL constructs, such as WHERE, GROUP BY, JOINs etc. It supports automatic column name and column type detection, and provides full support for multiple encodings. q fully supports all types of encoding. Use -e data-encoding to set the input data encoding, -Q query-encoding to set the query encoding, and use -E output-encoding to set the output encoding. Sensible defaults are in place for all three parameters. Files with BOM: Files which contain a BOM (Byte Order Mark) are not properly supported inside python's csv module. q contains a workaround that allows reading UTF8 files which contain a BOM - Use -e utf-8-sig for this. The plan is to separate the BOM handling from the encoding itself, which would allow to support BOMs for all encodings. -

simple-modern-uv
A minimal, modern Python project template
simple-modern-uv is a minimal yet production-ready Python project template that uses the uv toolchain to streamline dependency management, virtualenvs, and packaging. It aims to be “small but serious,” giving you the essentials—testing, linting, type checking, formatting, GitHub Actions—without burying you in boilerplate. The layout is opinionated around a pyproject.toml so configuration is centralized and easy to inspect. Defaults encourage good hygiene from day one, including reproducible builds and a clean release workflow to PyPI. Because the template is intentionally compact, it’s easy to understand and customize for libraries, CLIs, or small services. It’s a fast way to start new Python projects with modern tooling and guardrails already in place. -

Ansible-lint
Best practices checker for Ansible
Ansible Lint is a command-line tool for linting playbooks, roles and collections aimed towards any Ansible users. Its main goal is to promote proven practices, patterns and behaviors while avoiding common pitfalls that can easily lead to bugs or make code harder to maintain. Ansible lint is also supposed to help users upgrade their code to work with newer versions of Ansible. Due to this reason we recommend using it with the newest version of Ansible, even if the version used in production may be older. As any other linter, it is opinionated. Still, its rules are the result of community contributions and they can always be disabled based individually or by category by each user. ansible-lint checks playbooks for practices and behavior that could potentially be improved. As a community-backed project ansible-lint supports only the last two major versions of Ansible. -

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.
