Harmony
Patching, replacing and decorating .NET and Mono methods
Harmony gives you an elegant and high-level way to alter the functionality in applications written in C#. It works great in games and is well established in titles like 7 Days To Die, BattleTech, Besiege, Cities:Skylines, Kerbal Space Program, Oxygen Not Included, Ravenfield, Rimworld, Sheltered, Stardew Valley, Staxel, Subnautica, The Ultimate Nerd Game, Total Miner, Unturned, SCP: Secret Laboratory and many more. If you develop in C# and your code is loaded as a module/plugin into a host application, you can use Harmony to alter the functionality of all the available assemblies of that application. Where other patch libraries simply allow you to replace the original method, Harmony goes one step further. It is also used in unit testing WPF controls and in many other areas. Installation is done by using 0Harmony.dll in your project or by using the Lib.Harmony nuget package. -

arduino-cli
Arduino command line tool
Arduino CLI is an all-in-one solution that provides Boards/Library Managers, sketch builders, board detection, uploader, and many other tools needed to use any Arduino compatible board and platform from the command line or machine interfaces. In addition to being a standalone tool, Arduino CLI is the heart of all official Arduino development software (Arduino IDE, Arduino Web Editor). The script requires sh, which is always available on Linux and macOS. sh is not available by default on Windows, though it is available as part of Git for Windows (Git Bash). If you don't have sh available, use the "Download" installation option. If you would like to use the arduino-cli command from any location, install Arduino CLI to a directory already in your PATH or add the Arduino CLI installation path to your PATH environment variable. -

ArchiSteamFarm
C# application with primary purpose of farming Steam cards
ASF is a C# application with the primary purpose of farming Steam cards from multiple accounts simultaneously. Unlike Idle Master which works only for one account at a given time, while requiring Steam client running in the background and launching additional processes imitating "game-playing" status, ASF doesn't require any Steam client running in the background, doesn't launch any additional processes and is made to handle unlimited Steam accounts at once. In addition to that, it's meant to be run on servers or other desktop-less machines and features full cross-OS support, which makes it possible to launch on any operating system with .NET Core runtime, such as Windows, Linux, and macOS. ASF is possible thanks to the gigantic amount of work done in the marvelous SteamKit2 library. Today, ASF is one of the most versatile Steam power tools, allowing you to make use of many features that were implemented over time. -

Lazygit
Simple terminal UI for git commands
You've heard it before, git is powerful, but what good is that power when everything is so damn hard to do? Interactive rebasing requires you to edit a goddamn TODO file in your editor? Are you kidding me? To stage part of a file you need to use a command-line program to step through each hunk and if a hunk can't be split down any further but contains code you don't want to stage, you have to edit an arcane patch file by hand? Are you KIDDING me?! Sometimes you get asked to stash your changes when switching branches only to realize that after you switch and unstash that there weren't even any conflicts and it would have been fine to just check out the branch directly? If you're a mere mortal like me and you're tired of hearing how powerful git is when in your daily life it's a powerful pain in your ass, lazygit might be for you.
