Unix tools cat, ls, and cd are standard, but bat, eza, and zoxide speed up and clarify terminal use.

• bat is a cat replacement with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and git change markers. It pages automatically through less when output is long.
• eza is a modern ls (the maintained successor to exa). It gives coloured output, a tree view, and git status columns.
• zoxide is a smarter cd. It learns the directories you visit and lets you jump with partial names, for example z proj to reach ~/work/projects.

brew install bat eza zoxide

sudo apt update
sudo apt install bat eza zoxide
