Scoop Windows
A command-line installer for Windows
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu. -

CFSSL
Cloudflare's PKI and TLS toolkit
CFSSL is CloudFlare's PKI/TLS swiss army knife. It is both a command line tool and an HTTP API server for signing, verifying, and bundling TLS certificates. It requires Go 1.12+ to build. Note that certain linux distributions have certain algorithms removed (RHEL-based distributions in particular), so the golang from the official repositories will not work. Users of these distributions should install go manually to install CFSSL. You can set the GOOS and GOARCH environment variables to have Go cross compile for alternative platforms; however, cfssl requires cgo, and cgo requires a working compiler toolchain for the target platform. The csr is the client's certificate request. The -ca and -ca-key flags are the CA's certificate and private key, respectively. By default, they are ca.pem and ca_key.pem. The -hostname is a comma separated hostname list that overrides the DNS names and IP address in the certificate SAN extension. -

Cherrybomb
Cherrybomb is a CLI tool that helps you avoid undefined user behaviour
Cherrybomb is an CLI tool written in Rust that helps prevent incorrect code implementation early in development. It works by validating and testing your API using an OpenAPI file. Its main goal is to reduce security errors and ensure your API functions as intended. Cherrybomb makes sure your API is working correctly. It checks your API's spec file (OpenAPI Specification) for good practices and makes sure it follows the OAS rules. Then, it tests your API for common issues and vulnerabilities. If any problems are found, Cherrybomb gives you a detailed report with the exact location of the problem so you can fix it easily. With a configuration file, you can easily edit, view, Cherrybomb's options. The config file allows you to set the running profile, location of the oas file, the verbosity and ignore the TLS error. Config also allows you to override the server's URL with an array of servers, and add security to the request. -

dirsearch
Web path scanner
An advanced command-line tool designed to brute force directories and files in webservers, AKA web path scanner. Wordlist is a text file, each line is a path. About extensions, unlike other tools, dirsearch only replaces the %EXT% keyword with extensions from -e flag. For wordlists without %EXT% (like SecLists), -f | --force-extensions switch is required to append extensions to every word in wordlist, as well as the /. To use multiple wordlists, you can separate your wordlists with commas. Example: wordlist1.txt,wordlist2.txt. Default values for dirsearch flags can be edited in the configuration file: default.conf. The thread number (-t | --threads) reflects the number of separated brute force processes. And so the bigger the thread number is, the faster dirsearch runs. By default, the number of threads is 30, but you can increase it if you want to speed up the progress. -

AI Commits
A CLI that writes your git commit messages for you with AI
AI Commits is a command-line tool that writes your git commit messages for you using an AI model. It works by running git diff to gather your staged code changes, sending that diff to an LLM (originally GPT-3, now configurable), and receiving back a concise, human-readable commit message. The tool is designed to integrate cleanly into a developer’s workflow so that generating a descriptive commit message becomes a single command rather than a chore. It supports configuration via environment variables or config files so you can set your API key, preferred model, message style, and more. There are also options to preview, edit, or regenerate the AI-proposed message before actually committing, giving developers control instead of blindly trusting the output. Because it’s published as an npm package and even as a Homebrew formula, installation is straightforward across platforms. -

GAM
Command line management for Google Workspace
GAM is a command line tool that allows administrators to manage many aspects of their Google Workspace (formerly G Suite / Google Apps) Account. This page provides simple instructions for downloading, installing and starting to use GAM. GAM requires paid (or Education/non-profit) editions of Google Workspace. G Suite Legacy Free Edition has limited API support and not all GAM commands work. While many GAM functions do not require domain administrative privileges, the setup does. Download GAM, then run the MSI installer. By default, GAM will install to C:\GAM but you can change this to wherever you prefer. GAM will also be added to your path so you can run GAM even if you're not in the GAM folder. At the end of the MSI install process, GAM will open a command prompt to allow you to setup a project and authorize GAM for admin management and user data/config access. -

Filament
Real-time physically based rendering engine for Android, iOS, and more
Filament is a real-time physically-based renderer written in C++. It is mobile-first, but also multi-platform. We are very conscientious about keeping Filament small, fast to load, and focused on rendering. For example, Filament does not compile materials at run time. Instead, we provide a command line tool (matc) that does this offline. Filament is a physically based rendering (PBR) engine for Android. The goal of Filament is to offer a set of tools and APIs for Android developers that will enable them to create high quality 2D and 3D rendering with ease. For both artists and developers, our system will rely on as few parameters as possible to reduce trial and error and allow users to quickly master the material model. A physically based approach must not preclude non-realistic rendering. User interfaces for instance will need unlit materials. Our primary goal is to design and implement a rendering system able to perform efficiently on mobile platforms. -

saml2aws
CLI tool which enables you to login and retrieve AWS credentials
CLI tool which enables you to log in and retrieve AWS temporary credentials using ADFS or PingFederate Identity Providers.
