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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -
14
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. -
15
HTTPie CLI
Modern, user-friendly command-line HTTP client for the API era
HTTPie (pronounced aitch-tee-tee-pie) is a command-line HTTP client. Its goal is to make CLI interaction with web services as human-friendly as possible. HTTPie is designed for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with APIs & HTTP servers. The HTTP & HTTPS commands allow for creating and sending arbitrary HTTP requests. They use simple and natural syntax and provide formatted and colorized output. -

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. -

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. -
19
mypy-baseline
Integrate mypy in seconds with existing codebase
A CLI tool for painless integration of mypy with an existing Python project. When you run it for the first time, it will remember all types of errors that you already have in the project (generate “baseline”). All consecutive runs will ignore these errors and report only the ones that you introduced after that. -
20
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. -

shot-scraper
A command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of websites
shot-scraper is a command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of web pages using a headless browser engine. After installation, a single command can capture a full-page screenshot of a URL and save it to a file, making it ideal for documentation, monitoring, and visual regression tasks. Under the hood it uses a modern browser (installed via a one-time shot-scraper install step) and exposes options for viewport size, full-page versus clipped screenshots, and device emulation. Beyond simple captures, it can run custom JavaScript before taking the shot, allowing you to open menus, scroll, or manipulate the DOM so the screenshot reflects the desired state. The project is deeply integrated with automation workflows: examples show it running in scheduled jobs, GitHub Actions, and bots that publish screenshots to social media or use them in docs. It ships with detailed documentation, a tutorial, and a template repository that lets you spin up an automated screenshot pipeline. -
22
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. -
23
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. -
25
repren
Rename anything
Repren is a “rename anything” command-line tool that performs regex-based search and replace across file contents while also renaming or moving files and directories according to patterns. It’s meant for sweeping refactors: change a class or package name everywhere and update filenames to match in one pass. The design favors explicitness and safety, providing dry-run output so you can preview exactly what will change before executing it. It handles recursive directory walks, lets you filter which files to touch, and supports multiple patterns in a single run to keep transformations consistent. Because it’s script-friendly, it slots well into project maintenance, codebase migrations, or release engineering tasks. The goal is to give you a reliable, repeatable alternative to ad-hoc shell loops when large-scale text and filename changes are needed.
