Rust is taking over the terminal. Rust is a general-purpose programming language that is blazing fast and memory safe. It is the fastest-growing and most loved programming language in the world. It is used to build everything from operating systems to web servers to command-line tools. Recently there has been a surge of command line tools and utilities written in Rust, and many of them are intended to replace standard Unix commands. They are faster, more user-friendly, and have more features than their standard Unix counterparts. In this post, I will cover some of the best Rust command line tools I have used for a while. You can also use these to supercharge your terminal.
【Rust正在接管终端。Rust是一种通用编程语言，速度快，内存安全。它是世界上增长最快、最受欢迎的编程语言。它用于构建从操作系统到Web服务器到命令行工具的所有内容。最近，用Rust编写的命令行工具和实用程序激增，其中许多旨在取代标准的Unix命令。它们比标准的Unix命令更快、更友好，并且具有更多功能。在这篇文章中，我将介绍一些我使用了一段时间的最佳Rust命令行工具。您也可以使用这些工具来增强您的终端。】
These tools are available for both Linux and macOS. I have not tested them on Windows, but most should also work on Windows. I recommend aliasing the commands to replace the standard commands based on your preferences. If you have Cargo, the rust package manager, you can install all these using Cargo.
【这些工具可用于Linux和macOS。我没有在Windows上测试过它们，但大多数应该也可以在Windows上运行。我建议根据您的偏好将这些命令别名为替换标准命令。如果您有rust包管理器Cargo，您可以使用Cargo安装所有这些工具。】
Alacritty
Let us start with the terminal itself. Alacritty is a cross-platform modern terminal emulator with sensible defaults. It is GPU accelerated, super fast, and highly configurable. You can use it on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It doesn’t have much in terms of a UI, and hence all configurations are done through YAML files. I don’t use it as my primary terminal as I love Yakuake too much for all its cool features. We can get most of those features (tabs, split panes, dropdown mode) using tmux and tdrop if really needed. I use Alacrity when I need speed and GPU acceleration. There is an excellent tutorial on using Alacritty with tmux. You could also use Zellij, a modern terminal multiplexer written in Rust, with Alacritty.
【让我们从终端本身开始。Alacritty是一个跨平台的现代终端仿真器，具有合理的默认值。它是GPU加速的，速度非常快，并且高度可配置。您可以在Linux、macOS和Windows上使用它。它在UI方面没有太多内容，因此所有配置都是通过YAML文件完成的。我没有将它用作我的主终端，因为我太喜欢Yakuake的所有酷功能了。如果确实需要，我们可以使用tmux和tdrop获得大部分功能（选项卡、分割窗格、下拉模式）。当我需要速度和GPU加速时，我会使用Alacrity。有一篇关于在tmux中使用Alacritty的优秀教程。您也可以在Alacritty中使用Zellij，这是一种用Rust编写的现代终端多路复用器。】
There is also the Warp terminal, but it is not open source. It is a great terminal, but I prefer open source software. Thanks to Fran Sancisco for the suggestion.
【还有Warp终端，但它不是开源的。这是一个很棒的终端，但我更喜欢开源软件。感谢Fran Sancisco的建议。】

Starship
Starship is the best terminal prompt I have ever used. Forget Oh My Zsh and stuff like that. Starship is fast, highly customizable, and has a great default theme and settings. I didn’t even change most of the default settings, as things were perfect as it is. Starship works on shells like zsh, fish, and bash and can also work alongside other prompts like Oh My Zsh, in case you still want to use Oh My Zsh for other plugins like autosuggestions and so on. Starship works best with a Nerd Font as it can show icons and ligatures based on context. I used Oh My Zsh for many years with the powerlevel10k theme, but the prompt was a bit slow. Starship is blazing fast with more features and an excellent UX.
【Starship是我使用过的最好的终端提示符。忘记Oh My Zsh之类的东西吧。Starship速度快，高度可定制，并且具有出色的默认主题和设置。我甚至没有更改大多数默认设置，因为事情本身就很完美。Starship可以在像zsh、fish和bash这样的shell上运行，也可以与其他提示符（如Oh My Zsh）一起使用，以防您仍然想使用Oh My Zsh来运行其他插件，如自动建议等。Starship最适合与Nerd Font一起使用，因为它可以根据上下文显示图标和连字。我使用带有powerlevel10k主题的Oh My Zsh多年，但提示有点慢。Starship速度非常快，具有更多功能和出色的用户体验。】

bat
bat is one of my favorite tools from this list. It’s a replacement for cat, and once you have used bat, you will never go back. It provides features like syntax highlight, line numbers, Git change highlight, shows special chars, paging, and so on. It is super fast and looks beautiful. I have aliased cat to bat immediately after trying it for the first time. By default, bat behaves similarly to less by paging large output, but that can be disabled to make it work precisely like cat. It can be used as a drop-in replacement for cat even in scripts. bat can also be used as a previewer for fzf. It can also be combined with many other commands and tools like tail, man, and git, among others, to add syntax highlighting to outputs. Syntax highlighting themes are configurable.
【bat是我在此列表中最喜欢的工具之一。它是cat的替代品，一旦您使用过bat，您将永远不会回头。它提供了诸如语法高亮、行号、Git更改高亮、显示特殊字符、分页等功能。它速度超快，看起来很漂亮。我第一次尝试后，立即将cat别名为bat。默认情况下，bat的行为类似于less，通过分页大量输出来实现，但可以禁用它，使其工作方式与cat完全相同。它甚至可以在脚本中用作cat的替代品。bat也可以用作fzf的预览器。它还可以与许多其他命令和工具（如tail、man和git等）结合使用，以向输出添加语法高亮。语法高亮主题是可配置的。】

LSD and exa
Both LSD and exa are replacements for the ls command. They both look gorgeous with nice colors and icons and have features like headers, sorting, tree views, and so on. Exa is a bit faster than LSD for tree views and can show the Git status of files and folders. I prefer exa due to the Git support and faster tree views. I have set up my ls alias to use exa by default. Both can be configured to show custom columns and sorting behaviors.
【LSD和exa都是ls命令的替代品。它们都具有漂亮的颜色和图标，以及诸如标题、排序、树视图等功能。对于树视图，exa比LSD稍快一些，并且可以显示文件和文件夹的Git状态。由于支持Git和更快的树视图，我更喜欢exa。我已经将我的ls别名设置为默认使用exa。两者都可以配置为显示自定义列和排序行为。】

rip
rip is an improved version of the rm command. It is faster, safer, and user-friendly. rip sends deleted files to a temp location so they can be recovered using rip -u. I really like the simplicity and the revert feature, as I don’t have to worry about accidentally deleting something using rm. While rip can be aliased to replace rm, the creators advise not doing that as you might get used to it and do rm on other systems where you cannot revert the delete.
【rip是rm命令的改进版本。它更快、更安全、更用户友好。rip将已删除的文件发送到临时位置，因此可以使用rip -u恢复它们。我真的很喜欢它的简单性和还原功能，因为我不必担心使用rm意外删除某些内容。虽然rip可以别名为替换rm，但创建者建议不要这样做，因为您可能会习惯在其他系统上执行rm，而在那里您无法还原删除。】

zoxide
zoxide is a smarter cd replacement. It remembers the directories you visit, and you can jump to them without providing a full path. You can provide partial paths or even a word from the path. When there are similar paths, zoxide offers an interactive selection using fzf. It is super fast and works with all major shells. I like how it works, and I have aliased cd to z so I can use it everywhere.
【zoxide是一个更智能的cd替换品。它会记住您访问过的目录，并且您可以在不提供完整路径的情况下跳转到它们。您可以提供部分路径，甚至可以是路径中的一个单词。当存在相似路径时，zoxide使用fzf提供交互式选择。它速度超快，适用于所有主要外壳。我喜欢它的工作方式，我已经将cd别名为z，这样我就可以在任何地方使用它。】

ripgrep
ripgrep (rg) is a line-oriented search tool that recursively searches your current directory for a regex pattern. It is faster than grep and has many features like compressed files search, colorized output, smart case, file type filtering, multi-threading, and so on. It understands .gitignore files and skips hidden and ignored files. Here is a feature comparison with other similar tools, and yes, it is faster than all the other tools in the list.
【ripgrep（rg）是一个面向行的搜索工具，可以递归地搜索当前目录中的正则表达式模式。它比grep更快，并具有许多功能，如压缩文件搜索、彩色输出、智能大小写、文件类型过滤、多线程等。它理解.gitignore文件，并跳过隐藏和被忽略的文件。这是与其他类似工具的功能比较，是的，它比列表中的所有其他工具都要快。】

fd
fd is a simpler alternative to find. It is more intuitive to use and comes with sensible defaults. It is extremely fast due to parallel traversing and shows a modern colorized output and supports patterns and regex, parallel commands, smart case, understands .gitignore files, and so on. I have aliased find to fd as I could never remember what options to pass to get a basic find command working.
【fd是find命令的一个更简单的替代品。它更直观易用，并带有合理的默认值。由于采用并行遍历，它的速度非常快，并显示现代彩色输出，支持模式和正则表达式、并行命令、智能大小写，理解.gitignore文件等。我已经将find别名为fd，因为我永远记不住要让基本的find命令工作需要传递什么选项。】

procs
procs is a ps replacement. It provides colorized human-readable output, multi-column search, more information than ps, docker support, paging, watch mode, and tree view. It is a much more user-friendly and modern alternative to ps. You can filter by name and PID and use logical and/or operators to combine multiple filters. It also has a tree view which is very useful for seeing the process hierarchy. It can also show docker container names for the process running docker containers.
【procs是ps命令的替代品。它提供彩色的人类可读输出、多列搜索、比ps更多的信息、docker支持、分页、监视模式和树视图。它是ps的一个更友好和现代的替代品。你可以按名称和PID进行过滤，并使用逻辑与/或操作符组合多个过滤器。它还有一个树视图，对于查看进程层次结构非常有用。它还可以显示运行docker容器的进程的docker容器名称。】

Topgrade
Topgrade is a fantastic utility if you prefer to keep your system up-to-date, like me. It detects most of the package managers on your system and triggers updates. It is configurable, so you can configure it to ignore certain package managers. On my system, it detected pacman, SDKMAN, Flatpak, snap, Homebrew, rustup, Linux firmware, Pip, and so on. Topgrade is cross-platform; you can use it on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
