I was already using bat, but I only really scratched the surface of everything it could do. From the video description:

    If you enjoy bat, may I also recommend you try:

    • eza as an alternative to ls
    • zoxide as an alternative to cd
    • fd as an alternative to find
    • fzf paired with fd for enhanced reverse searching and more
    • delta for syntax highlighting pager for git, diff, grep, blame output

    I’ve been using these for probably around 5-10 years / daily, without issue.
