Terminal Productivity Tools
Claude Code has pulled me back into the terminal full-time. These are the top tools for productivity boost in your terminal:
Fig.: Terminal
→ An alternative to zsh and bash with autocomplete for commands, options, flags, and git branches
→ Syntax highlighting: immediately shows you if a command is valid or not
→ Automatically activates Python virtual environments

2. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩
→ A fully customizable prompt
→ Shows your current folder, git branch, active Python/TS environment at a glance

3. 𝐂𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 (𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐞)
→ Brings Starship-level customization to the Claude Code status line
→ By default the status line is very barebones
→ Cship adds information on token usage, when your window resets, all in a customizable way.

4. 𝐘𝐚𝐳𝐢
→ A graphical file manager that runs inside your terminal
→ Replaces the ls and cd loop with a fast, visual interface
→ Shows a preview of every file (code, images, even PDFs)

5. 𝐑𝐢𝐩𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐩
→ Search your codebase for regex patterns faster than grep
→ Respects .gitignore, so no false positives in your .venv or node_modules folders
6. 𝐀𝐭𝐮𝐢𝐧
→ Replaces Ctrl+R with a searchable, filterable history across sessions
→ Super useful when you need to find that command you ran two weeks ago
→ Allows syncing across machines. Searching for that command you run on your other computer?
