In Linux, for everyday tasks, I usually use the following command-line utilities and tools:

  • bash/zsh — shell for working with the command line.
  • ls, cd, pwd — navigation through the filesystem.
  • grep — searching within file contents.
  • awk, sed — processing and transforming text data.
  • find — searching for files based on criteria.
  • top, htop — monitoring processes and resources.
  • ps — viewing running processes.
  • curl, wget — downloading data from the internet.
  • ssh — remote connection to servers.
  • tar, zip, unzip — archiving and unarchiving files.
  • systemctl — managing system services.
  • df, du — checking disk space usage.
  • netstat, ss — diagnosing network connections.
  • vim, nano — text editors for editing configurations and scripts.

Example: to find all files with the extension .log containing the word "error", you can use:

grep -rl "error" /var/log/*.log

These tools allow for efficient system management, task automation, and quick access to necessary information.
