[@sk9la]

same as LazyDocker, you also have LazyGIt, LazySSH and LazyNPM for nodejs modules

[@warpdotdev]

This is good to know! Thank you :-)

[@BillGarrett]

I think what really sold me on fzf in your presentation was the way you could pipe stuff to it. A graphical tool that still plays well in the unix mindset is fantastic

[@huubeijndhovenvan7177]

Very, very, very good. Old unix guy here. The way you choose to use the command line in the 2024 world is just

[@conradtaylor29]

Wow, these are some great tools to add to my development workflows, and thanks so much for creating this fantastic video!!!! Bravo!!!! 👍🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🎉

[@jflamb-jr]

You are absolutely killing it with these videos. 👍

[@warpdotdev]

Thanks Jaime! 😀

[@maurolimaok]

Very nice video. I'm on my first steps on learning to code, and this insights will be helpful. Thanks!

[@adjusted-bunny]

I could listen to you all day saying "The Fuck".

[@CodingWithLewis]

One of the easiest command line tools I use is live-server! Sometimes just having a quick server is all I need when creating a quick webpage!

[@enkiimuto1041]

This lazy docker thing is amazing, thanks!

[@hakanakdag9491]

I just realized that you are making great videos. I liked almost all of these tools.

[@rybakostis]

entr - runs a command whenever files change. Really simple and awesome

[@boyardengels]

i love your vids, very refreshing and educational!

[@seanshah1651]

this is really good tips .. especially i feel nice with lazy docker

[@sebasbot01]

I like having github's gh. Simple, tho turning my directory into a remote repo with one command is really neat

[@emckinney765]

I work for a company which issues its employees 100% locked-down Win10 desktops via Citrix, with a data egress policy that makes nearly any connection to an outside machine an offense punishable by termination. When I see videos like this on my phone, I'm reminded that computing is actually FUN when done properly.

[@sebastianidzkowski6810]

I had been in that place once, terrible time. Yes it should be fun!

[@appleking8961]

you help me a lot. thank you

[@toddwatts8431]

This video Shebangs for sure! NEO VIM !!! great pick.

[@faysoufox]

Was very interesting thanks

[@georgesamy00]

Great content

[@chyldstudios]

Other popular modern CLI tools are: fd, ripgrep, bat

[@warpdotdev]

There are so many! I think we should do a part 2.

[@magicmulder]

And z.

[@amandin.]

​@@magicmulderzoxide*

[@BrazenNL]

@@magicmulderNot sure that's going to help. Search for `zoxide` and alias `cd` to it.

[@crazydor12345]

don't forget the king: tmux and for more cli clarification you have tldr for how to use and navi to find what commands to use for json you have the better version of jq: jqp and for system htop and ncdu

[@grubes34]

VIM Adventures is awesome! Great suggestion

[@harrymd84]

Nice video 👍 I also like the P10K theme you have ❤Did you configure that manually or is there a ready-to-go theme for it?

[@wafflzplz7914]

I wish i had known some of these earlier, jesus christ. Could have saved so much time, thx

[@gnagyusa]

LOL. Vim and Emacs were the 2 reasons my friend and I decided to write our own code editor way back (and we did).

[@adrian_franczak]

How can I replace the default terminal in IDE with warp?

[@guzmonne]

freeze: awesome code snaphshots (integrates with NeoVim) mods: awesome cli to interact with openai API compatible tools. glow: awesome markdown renderer for the cli

[@user-cm4ce5fh4q]

Thank you

[@mtsurov]

Such a great channel. Wish i could sub again.

[@user-sp4fz1gw9w]

How about python in the terminal for quantum computing appreciate your help so much

[@corrada]

Hey! How do you customize user and host name header in warp like you showed here? I like it that way! It looks modern

[@dogaarmangil]

Neovim 👍1:00 Another advantage of Neovim/vim/vi over VSCode etc is that you generally only press one key at a time. None of that Command+Option+Shift finger acrobatics. (Vim shortcuts/modes are available on VSCode etc as well, but they don't have the built-in help system that goes along with those.)

[@dogaarmangil]

And if all those keyboard shortcuts are still making your head explode then Neovim has has great mouse support as well, from what I can tell.

[@outtabubblegum7034]

There is "LazyGit" too!

[@warpdotdev]

Yes! We love this one.

[@tahmidtargaryen6230]

what theme are you using on neovim. Love the color palette

[@BrunoCoelho]

I love your straight to the point and no BS style! I'll definitely take Http Pie for a ride. You got a new sub!

[@christofdonat2702]

The most important thing, that is holding me back to move from vom to neovim is gvim. While there are several GUI frontends for neovim on Linux, I yet have to9 find one, that even remotely matches gvim. And I just like to keep using my shell after I've started the editor.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

I do not use CL and do everything in a browser. But if I need to run any command? I do it also from a browser. But believe me, your video is an awesome and guess what? I watched it in a browser too!

[@voidreact]

Another one that's pretty cool - jq

[@kahahabahaha]

lsd for a souped up ls command (if you still wanna use ls) visidata if you need to view csv files and the like

[@muratasarslan2359]

Can it be used as VSCode terminal?

[@nicolasfiore]

I feel like every new thing that helps us improve our productivity only means that we will get more workload to compensate and the net balance is 0 for us as employees. Maybe it is good for the company but for us

[@MrSagarvarule]

Curl n http was a pain to use for APai Testing hence Postman exist, not other way round

[@sarig9288]

For me the golden combo is: 1. fzf (as mentioned) 2. ripgrep (like grep, but insanely faster) 3. direnv (to automatically add and remove things from your path, or generally run a script as soon as you cd into a directory)

[@dr.mikeybee]

I use direnv for all my conda environments. I never have to worry about what env is active. When I cd into a directory, I get the right conda env automatically.

[@theinfinity310]

Could you please make a tutorial on how to customize the warp terminal like yours?

[@warpdotdev]

That video already exists! Here's a link (and a corresponding blog in the description of the video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqrVkHiFoqp1lck

I can't believe you use puthon and fuc* in the same video.

[@BeyondImaginationzz]

zellij and helix are awesome combination , though zellij sometime act weird in Warp in ssh connection

[@LouiseBrooksBob]

"This command allows me to..." shows command for 1 nanosecond.

[@hglbrg]

great recommendations, narration and pacing but the bubble-animation on everything gave me motion sickness. :/

[@AlesNajmann]

no autojump? how come?

[@jordanchen0125]

tmux + zsh + fzf

[@christofferaasted]

mentions neovim, but these features are all available in vim

[@warpdotdev]

In the video, we mention some of the extra capabilities that Neovim provides for search-and-replace functionality. But you're right, we covered only the basics of Neovim - in the future, we'd love to do a dedicated video that dives deep into all the features and customizations that Neovim provides.

[@karthickb1973]

lazydocker UI looks very similar to lazygit

WHY? Why did you puthon?? Now I'm obsessed with puthon. On a serious note, I really need to take a look at FZF !

[@tobibobibo]

As a long time neovim and vim user i must admit i get a little iffy when she bluntly states that neovim comes with all these things off the shelve. The fact is that all the things she states depends on plugins that has to be added on top of neovim.. a process that is not entirely tedious for the beginner.. Starting off with such a statement, hugely makes me sceptical for the rest of the content.. i didnt even bother to watch it to the end.

[@WizardOfArc]

Warp seems to act like fuck anyway

[@WizardOfArc]

I have no idea what I meant by this 😥😳

[@zamolxezamolxe8131]

nice vid, it helped me a lot. the only annoying thing was her vocal fry at the end of every single sentence. sounds like a croaking frog. she is cute and intelligent, why does she need to talk like that

[@2dumb2type]

No self-respecting dev would use warp, a terminal with an account? Cloud-backed history? What is wrong with you all

[@itstotallynotalex]

maybe you need it to keep track of productivity, maybe you’re working for a company and you have multiple devices that need to transfer from and Warp would help you do that because you would have the history saved.

[@eckee]

Not a bad idea tbh but if you're concerned with the privacy of your terminal actions it sounds scary to use proprietry cloud services to log everything

[@merloali]

you forget mention to tmux and lazygit but anyway, only linux users knows about these tools more 😎

[@MuhammadArshad]

I absolutely hate the aliases for the cli tools. I mean how lazy do you have to be to make an aliases for ‘git push’ to ‘gp’ or how much time will you actually save on it.

[@Bekon241]

You miss window with this shity magic mouse charged from bottom. Fapple genius invention.

[@markring40]

Hahaha. WTF??

Apparently, everything is insane. Either that,or a lot of publishers aren’t worth watching. I won’t be back to this channel. “Insane” is lazy.

[@maxlim33]

You don't really use Vim or NeoVim, do you...

[@bobweiram6321]

I can't believe the amazing amount of mediocrity in today's modern computing. During the 80s and 90s, we had powerful graphical interfaces which abstracted away all this tedious and mind-bending complexity. We never had to type in tedious and error-prone commands, configure settings by editing complex text files, or learn a new language just to compile our programs.
