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. -

Codex gpt-5.6 Instruct
A Codex CLI jailbreak prompt and test pack for gpt-5.6-sol
Codex gpt-5.6 Instruct is an unofficial prompt research and evaluation package created for the gpt-5.6-sol model in Codex CLI. It contains instruction files designed to alter refusal behavior across technical and fictional request categories. Two prompt variants are provided: a simpler recommended edition and a more elaborate edition for compound tasks. A Python deployment utility can preview changes, install a selected configuration, create backups, and restore earlier settings. The repository includes bilingual prompt banks, recorded model outputs, pass-or-fail results, historical reports, and candidate comparisons. Its evaluation workflow organizes scenarios by language, length, and task family. The project is intended for adversarial prompt testing rather than ordinary application development. -

cheat.sh
The only cheat sheet you need
cheat.sh is a compact, network-accessible cheat-sheet service that serves concise examples and usage notes for hundreds of shell commands, programming languages, and tools via a simple HTTP interface. You can query it from the terminal (for example curl cht.sh/rsync or curl cheat.sh/ls) or browse the web front page; it also supports a shorthand hostname (cht.sh) and provides both online and standalone/local installation modes. The repository contains the server and client code, instructions to run a local standalone instance (including Python virtualenv setup), and tooling to fetch or maintain the upstream cheat-sheet data; installation documentation explains disk-space needs and dependency setup for offline use. Cheat.sh is intentionally minimal and scriptable, so it fits naturally into shells, CI scripts, editors, and quick lookups without leaving the terminal, while also offering ways to extend or host personal cheat sheets. -

RKN Block Checker
Diagnose RKN/TSPU internet blocks layer by layer (DNS, TCP, TLS, HTTP)
RKN Block Checker is a small Python CLI for diagnosing whether the current network connection is affected by Russian RKN or TSPU blocking. It tests blocking behavior layer by layer instead of only reporting that a site is unreachable. The tool can help distinguish DNS poisoning, TCP reset behavior, TLS DPI based on SNI, and ISP stub pages. This makes it useful for developers, system administrators, network researchers, and censorship-measurement workflows. It is designed as a console utility with straightforward installation and optional proxy support. Its main value is giving users a structured way to understand what kind of network interference is occurring rather than relying on vague connectivity symptoms. -

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. -

Ansible-lint
Best practices checker for Ansible
Ansible Lint is a command-line tool for linting playbooks, roles and collections aimed towards any Ansible users. Its main goal is to promote proven practices, patterns and behaviors while avoiding common pitfalls that can easily lead to bugs or make code harder to maintain. Ansible lint is also supposed to help users upgrade their code to work with newer versions of Ansible. Due to this reason we recommend using it with the newest version of Ansible, even if the version used in production may be older. As any other linter, it is opinionated. Still, its rules are the result of community contributions and they can always be disabled based individually or by category by each user. ansible-lint checks playbooks for practices and behavior that could potentially be improved. As a community-backed project ansible-lint supports only the last two major versions of Ansible. -

ggshield
Detect and validate 500+ types of hardcoded secrets
GitGuardian’s ggshield is an open-source command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to help developers and security teams detect hardcoded secrets and sensitive credentials early in the development process, either locally or in CI/CD pipelines. It scans source code, configuration files, commit history, and other artifacts to automatically detect hundreds of different secret types — such as API keys, tokens, and passwords — helping prevent accidental leaks before they reach version control or production environments. ggshield can be used interactively on a developer’s machine, integrated as a pre-commit or pre-push git hook, and run as part of automated build or merge workflows to enforce security policies consistently across teams. It works across major operating systems using Python, and offers standalone packaged binaries for environments where Python isn’t available, making it adaptable to a wide range of developer setups. -

PAL MCP
The power of Claude Code / GeminiCLI / CodexCLI
PAL MCP is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to act as a powerful middleware layer that connects AI clients and tools—like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, and IDE plugins—to a broad range of underlying AI models, enabling collaborative multi-model workflows rather than relying on a single model. It lets developers orchestrate interactions across multiple models (including Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, Azure, Ollama, OpenRouter, and custom/self-hosted models), preserving conversation context seamlessly as tasks evolve and substeps run across tools. By supporting conversation threading and context passing, pal-mcp-server helps maintain continuity during complex processes like code reviews, automated planning, implementation, and validation, allowing models to “debate” or weigh in on specific subtasks for better outcomes. -

aws-cli
Universal Command Line Interface for Amazon Web Services
The AWS CLI is the universal command-line interface for managing AWS services, automating tasks, and scripting cloud workflows. It exposes nearly every public API from EC2 and S3 to IAM, Lambda, and beyond, providing parity with the service SDKs in a tool you can run anywhere. Profiles, regions, single-sign-on, and credential helpers make it straightforward to switch contexts securely across accounts and environments. Its output controls and JMESPath querying let you slice, filter, and transform JSON responses directly in the shell, which is essential for automation. Waiters, paginators, and retries handle long-running or large list operations cleanly so scripts are resilient. The CLI’s stability and extensive documentation make it a cornerstone for CI/CD, incident response, and day-to-day operations. -

simple-modern-uv
A minimal, modern Python project template
simple-modern-uv is a minimal yet production-ready Python project template that uses the uv toolchain to streamline dependency management, virtualenvs, and packaging. It aims to be “small but serious,” giving you the essentials—testing, linting, type checking, formatting, GitHub Actions—without burying you in boilerplate. The layout is opinionated around a pyproject.toml so configuration is centralized and easy to inspect. Defaults encourage good hygiene from day one, including reproducible builds and a clean release workflow to PyPI. Because the template is intentionally compact, it’s easy to understand and customize for libraries, CLIs, or small services. It’s a fast way to start new Python projects with modern tooling and guardrails already in place. -

Data Contract CLI
Enforce Data Contracts
Data Contract CLI is an open-source command-line tool and Python library for creating, validating, testing, importing, exporting, and enforcing data contracts. It uses YAML-based contract files to define the structure, meaning, quality rules, service levels, and connection details for a data product. The tool can connect to real data sources and check whether the actual dataset matches the schema, constraints, and quality expectations described in the contract. It supports both the Data Contract Specification and the Open Data Contract Standard, making it useful for teams standardizing data governance across different platforms. It can run locally, inside CI/CD pipelines, through Docker, or directly from Python code. Overall, it helps data producers and consumers treat data products more like APIs, with explicit expectations, automated checks, and clearer accountability. -

node-gyp
Node.js native addon build tool
node-gyp is a cross-platform command-line tool written in Node.js for compiling native addon modules for Node.js. It contains a vendored copy of the gyp-next project that was previously used by the Chromium team, extended to support the development of Node.js native addons. Note that node-gyp is not used to build Node.js itself. Multiple target versions of Node.js are supported (i.e. 0.8, ..., 4, 5, 6, etc.), regardless of what version of Node.js is actually installed on your system (node-gyp downloads the necessary development files or headers for the target version). node-gyp requires that you have installed a compatible version of Python, one of: v3.6, v3.7, v3.8, or v3.9. If you have multiple Python versions installed, you can identify which Python version node-gyp should use. A binding.gyp file describes the configuration to build your module, in a JSON-like format. This file gets placed in the root of your package, alongside package.json. -

Ansible Molecule
Molecule aids in the development and testing of Ansible roles
Molecule project is designed to aid in the development and testing of Ansible roles. Molecule provides support for testing with multiple instances, operating systems and distributions, virtualization providers, test frameworks and testing scenarios. Molecule encourages an approach that results in consistently developed roles that are well-written, easily understood and maintained. Molecule supports only the latest two major versions of Ansible (N/N-1), meaning that if the latest version is 2.9.x, we will also test our code with 2.8.x. Depending on the driver chosen, you may need to install additional OS packages. See INSTALL.rst, which is created when initializing a new scenario. Ansible is not listed as a direct dependency of molecule package because we only call it as a command-line tool. You may want to install it using your distribution package installer. It is your responsibility to assure that soft dependencies of Ansible are available on your controller or host machines. -

Claude Code Templates
CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code
Claude Code Templates is a popular open-source CLI tool and template ecosystem designed to streamline how developers work with Anthropic’s Claude Code by providing a rich catalog of ready-to-use code templates, AI agents, custom commands, settings, hooks, and external integrations that can be installed interactively or via the command line. It lets you quickly scaffold domain-specific AI agents (like security auditors, performance optimizers, or database architects), fill in consistent project configurations, and embed automated workflows without reinventing the wheel for each new project. The templates and components are organized by workflow so teams can adopt best practices for testing, deployment, documentation, DevOps automation, and more, all powered by Claude’s agent SDK. Interactive installation commands and a marketplace-style interface make it easy to browse and apply components, and the tool also includes development utilities like analytics and conversation monitoring. -

git-delete-merged-branches
Command-line tool to delete merged Git branches
A convenient command-line tool helping you keep repositories clean. Supports deletion of both local and remote branches. Detects multiple forms of de-facto merges (rebase merges, squash merges (needs --effort=3), single or range cherry-picks… leveraging git cherry). Supports workflows with multiple release branches, e.g. only delete branches that have been merged to all of master, dev and staging. Quick interactive configuration. Provider agnostic: Works with GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and any other Git hosting. Takes safety seriously. Deletion is a sharp knife that requires care. While git reflog would have your back in most cases, git-delete-merged-branches takes safety seriously. git push is used with --force-with-lease so if the server and you have a different understanding of that branch, it is not deleted. There is no use of os.system or shell code to go wrong. -

q - Text as Data
Run SQL directly on CSV or TSV files
q is a command line tool that allows direct execution of SQL-like queries on CSVs/TSVs (and any other tabular text files). q treats ordinary files as database tables, and supports all SQL constructs, such as WHERE, GROUP BY, JOINs etc. It supports automatic column name and column type detection, and provides full support for multiple encodings. q fully supports all types of encoding. Use -e data-encoding to set the input data encoding, -Q query-encoding to set the query encoding, and use -E output-encoding to set the output encoding. Sensible defaults are in place for all three parameters. Files with BOM: Files which contain a BOM (Byte Order Mark) are not properly supported inside python's csv module. q contains a workaround that allows reading UTF8 files which contain a BOM - Use -e utf-8-sig for this. The plan is to separate the BOM handling from the encoding itself, which would allow to support BOMs for all encodings. -
21
BackAnt CLI
Let your AI agent create clean, easy to maintain flask backends
BackAnt CLI is an AI-native backend scaffolding tool designed to generate production-ready Flask APIs from a JSON specification or a small set of CLI commands. Its main goal is to reduce the repetitive work involved in setting up layered backend projects by generating key application components automatically rather than forcing developers to assemble them by hand. The tool creates a structured backend architecture that includes routes, services, repositories, models, startup files, Docker Compose configurations, and CI/CD workflows, which makes it especially useful for teams that want consistency across projects. It can scaffold an entire API or extend an existing project by generating a single route or sub-route, so it supports both greenfield development and iterative expansion. BackAnt CLI is also designed to work with coding agents through an MCP server, which allows compatible AI development tools to generate and modify backend code directly from chat-driven workflows. -

PathPicker
Accepts a wide range of input, output from git commands & grep results
PathPicker accepts a wide range of input, output from git commands, grep results, searches, pretty much anything. After parsing the input, PathPicker presents you with a nice UI to select which files you're interested in. After that you can open them in your favorite editor or execute arbitrary commands. Facebook PathPicker is a simple command line tool that solves the perpetual problem of selecting files out of bash output. Bash is fully supported and works the best. ZSH is supported as well, but won't have a few features like alias expansion in command line mode. csh/fish/rc are supported in the latest version, but might have quirks or issues in older versions of PathPicker. Note: if your default shell and current shell is not in the same family (bash/zsh... v.s. fish/rc), you need to manually export environment variable $SHELL to your current shell. -
23
S3cmd
Command line tool for managing Amazon S3 and CloudFront services
S3cmd (s3cmd) is a free command line tool and client for uploading, retrieving and managing data in Amazon S3 and other cloud storage service providers that use the S3 protocol, such as Google Cloud Storage or DreamHost DreamObjects. It is best suited for power users who are familiar with command-line programs. It is also ideal for batch scripts and automated backup to S3, triggered from cron, etc. S3cmd is written in Python. It's an open-source project available under GNU Public License v2 (GPLv2) and is free for both commercial and private use. You will only have to pay Amazon for using their storage. Lots of features and options have been added to S3cmd, since its very first release in 2008.... we recently counted more than 60 command-line options, including multipart uploads, encryption, incremental backup, s3 sync, ACL and Metadata management, S3 bucket size, bucket policies, and more! -
24
aws-encryption-sdk-cli
CLI wrapper around aws-encryption-sdk-python
This command line tool can be used to encrypt and decrypt files and directories using the AWS Encryption SDK. If you have not already installed cryptography, you might need to install additional prerequisites as detailed in the cryptography installation guide for your operating system. Installation using a python virtual environment is recommended to avoid conflicts between system packages and user-installed packages. For the most part, the behavior of aws-encryption-cli in handling files is based on that of GNU CLIs such as cp. A qualifier to this is that when encrypting a file, if a directory is provided as the destination, rather than creating the source filename in the destination directory, a suffix is appended to the destination filename. By default the suffix is .encrypted when encrypting and .decrypted when decrypting, but a custom suffix can be provided by the caller if desired. -
25
code-review-graph
Local-first code intelligence graph for MCP and CLI
Code Review Graph is a local-first code intelligence tool that builds a persistent structural map of a software repository. It parses source files with Tree-sitter and stores functions, classes, imports, calls, inheritance, and test relationships in a SQLite graph. When code changes, blast-radius analysis identifies the callers, dependents, and tests most likely to be affected. AI coding assistants can query this focused context through MCP instead of repeatedly scanning an entire codebase. Incremental indexing reparses only changed files and their relevant dependencies, making it practical for large repositories and monorepos. The command-line installer can detect and configure numerous supported coding tools automatically. It also offers watch mode, hooks, skills, a VS Code extension, and review-oriented risk analysis.
