My tools

Update Feb-2025: This is really old, I changed much of this tools for others. I’ll update it when I have a sec!

I have many tools which easy my work (almost) everyday, here are a few of them. I’ll promise I’ll update if a new toy comes to the playground!

My IDE

• 🧰 My IDE: VS Code

📓 and its Extensions

• 🖌️ Theme: Shades of Purple

• ▶️ Vim shortcuts (a MUST have!) : Vim

• ⏲️ Track your time while you develop: WakaTime

• 🔍 Better highlight the errors and warnings Error Lens

• My Shell config is always up to date in in my dotfiles repo, but here is a quick rundown:

  • On Windows I use nushell in Windows Terminal, with a customized theme
  • On Ubuntu I use Fish shell, also with some touched settings

Terminal Apps

As for the CLI tools, if available, I prefer tools developed in Rust, because usually runs in every OS flawlessly, nonetheless I also have many others:

• pipx for the global tools in python (black, flake8, pipenv, mypy, pre-commit, all-repos, etc).

• Github CLI is amazing.

• Gitlab also has a CLI.

• I use scoop package manager a lot.

• ripgrep is your faster, better, stronger grep (and runs in Windows!)

• exa a modern replacement for ls. (Works on linux tho). (Works only on linux tho)

• For Windows PowerShell I use Terminal-Icons

• bat a cat clone, but better.

• I also use a series of apps to manage versions of common tools, like:

  • pyenv-win to manage python versions (so you can select which version python and manage installations).
  • fnm (fast NodeJS Manager) is a NodeJS version manager written in Rust. Yes, you need that.
  • You want something to watch your files for changes and excecute a command when detect a difference? [watchfiles] got you covered
