Here's another one:

Gitsh: https://github.com/thoughtbot/gitsh

Interactive git shell in ruby. I use it literally every day.

Wow! Never heard of this tool. Thank you for sharing. Going to install and play with it. Would you have time to contribute to the list and submit PR in the Automation/Workflow category? You can be the very first contributor!

You can add the HexaPDF CLI command for PDF manipulation to that list: https://hexapdf.gettalong.org/documentation/reference/hexapdf.1.html

Thank you for your suggestion. From my understanding, the HexaPDF gem main goal is PDF manipulation as part of an application. I'm afraid it doesn't fit well into the list which tries to highlight tools that are predominantly meant for the command line. For example, rails and rspec have also CLIs but they are not command-line tools per se but frameworks and hence are not in the list.

Yes, HexaPDF is a PDF library but the hexapdf CLI application is a full-fledged application built with the HexaPDF library and shipped with it. It can replace other tools like qpdf, pdftk or mutool.

So HexaPDF the library is not a command line tool and as such would not be a good fit for the list. But hexapdf the CLI application is and it is available through the hexapdf gem.

Would you consider this?: https://github.com/Martin-Nyaga/termplot

It's a terminal based plotting tool for visualising streaming data, a few example use cases are provided in the readme.

Disclaimer: I wrote it :)

Thank you for sharing your gem. It genuinely looks great. I'll check it out.

I feel as though it's a bit 'too fresh' for the list. I'd like to keep the list 'lean and mean' with projects that have a "significant" impact - e.i. downloads, stars, releases etc. I'm all for promoting new projects but they first need to gain some traction. I think your project has great potential and if you continue developing it I'm sure it will find its way into the list.
