Micro is a terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use and intuitive, while also taking advantage of the full capabilities of modern terminals. It comes as one single, batteries-included, static binary with no dependencies, and you can download and use it right now.As the name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a successor to the nano editor by being easy to install and use in a pinch, but micro also aims to be enjoyable to use full time, whether you work in the terminal because you prefer it (like me), or because you need to (over ssh).

Gow (Gnu On Windows) is the lightweight alternative to Cygwin. It uses a convenient Windows installer that installs about 130 extremely useful open source UNIX applications compiled as native win32 binaries. It is designed to be as small as possible, about 10 MB, as opposed to Cygwin which can run well over 100 MB depending upon options.

J2ObjC is an open-source command-line tool from Google that translates Java source code to Objective-C for the iOS (iPhone/iPad) platform. This tool enables Java source to be part of an iOS application's build, as no editing of the generated files is necessary. The goal is to write an app's non-UI code (such as application logic and data models) in Java, which is then shared by web apps (using GWT), Android apps, and iOS apps.
 
J2ObjC supports most Java language and runtime features required by client-side application developers, including exceptions, inner and anonymous classes, generic types, threads and reflection. JUnit test translation and execution is also supported.

A code-searching tool similar to ack, but faster. It ignores file patterns from your .gitignore and .hgignore. If there are files in your source repo you don't want to search, just add their patterns to a .ignore file. (*cough* *.min.js *cough*)

age is a simple, modern and secure file encryption tool, format, and Go library. It features small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability. It has support for public/private key pairs and passwords, with multiple recipients. An extremely simple CLI that composes well with UNIX pipes, and that works well as a backend for other programs. A good seekable streaming encryption scheme based on modern chunked AEADs, reusable as a general encryption format.

Plumber is a CLI devtool for inspecting, piping, massaging and redirecting data in message systems like Kafka, RabbitMQ , GCP PubSub and many more. It helps to safely view the contents of your data streams, Decode protobuf/avro/thrift/JSON data in real-time, Route data from one place to another, Replay events into a message system on your local network and lot more.

fd is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not seek to mirror all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for 80% of the use cases.
 
It supports regular expression (default) and glob-based patterns. It is very fast due to parallelized directory traversal. It ignores hidden directories and files and .gitignore by default.

ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches the current directory for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will respect gitignore rules and automatically skip hidden files/directories and binary files. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep. It is built on top of <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/regex" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rust's regex engine</a>. Rust's regex engine uses finite automata, SIMD and aggressive literal optimizations to make searching very fast.
ripgrep supports many features found in grep, such as showing the context of search results, searching multiple patterns, highlighting matches with color and full Unicode support. Unlike GNU grep, ripgrep stays fast while supporting Unicode (which is always on). ripgrep defaults to recursive search and does automatic filtering. It won't search files ignored by your .gitignore/.ignore/.rgignore files, it won't search hidden files and it won't search binary files.&nbsp;

Cygwin is a collection of tools which provide a Linux look and feel environment for Windows. It is a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API layer providing substantial Linux API functionality. The Cygwin tools are ports of the popular GNU development tools for Microsoft Windows. They can be used from one of the provided Unix shells like bash, tcsh or zsh.
