Howdy y'all!

I'm curious about everyone's favorite/most used CLI tool! Please include your favorite as well as your use case if you don't mind. Mine is rsync, which I use to keep my home music storage synced with my music player's SD card.

Runner up is ranger to navigate files. I mainly use this to quickly visually navigate mounted drives that I did not organize myself.

Hope to hear from you all soon, thanks!
