Wrapping Up

In this chapter, you explored a handful of additional tools you can incorporate into your workflow, but there are so many more tools out there, each solving a specific purpose. From here, explore using tmux to manage your terminal sessions in tmux 2: Productive Mouse-Free Development [Hog16], or look into editing text with Vim and NeoVim in Modern Vim [Nei18]. Explore the command-line tools for your cloud infrastructure provider, or take advantage of front-end development tools.

And who knows, you might even consider building your own command-line tools. The Go programming language makes it easy to create command-line tools that work on all platforms, and Python or JavaScript are popular options as well. And of course, you could just create a simple Bash script that leverages what you’ve learned in this book to build even more complex workflows.

Be on the lookout for new small, sharp tools to add to your collection, or opportunities to create your own. You’ll find so much more to explore.
