  label: Overview
---

This section covers the command-line and terminal-UI tools outside the shell, terminal, and desktop layers. Every tool here is universal: none of it is gated by machine role, so `desktop`, `laptop`, `mac`, and `server` machines all get it (see [Installation](/installation)).

Packages come from `.chezmoidata/packages.yaml` and are installed by `run_onchange_before_10-packages.sh.tmpl` (pacman plus paru for the AUR on Arch, Homebrew on macOS). See [chezmoi scripts](/chezmoi/scripts).

## Other packaged CLI tools

These packages are declared in `.chezmoidata/packages.yaml` but have no config file in the repo. The "Wired in" column lists where the repo actually uses them.

| Tool | Role | Wired in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `fzf` | Fuzzy finder | `FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS` in `dot_config/fish/conf.d/10-env.fish` (rounded border, cyberdream colors: highlight `#5ef1ff`, pointer `#ffaecf`, marker `#5eff6c`). Used by fish functions `c2p`, `cp-appid`, `fab`, `gtm`, `mdp`, `lc-elir`, by `~/.local/bin` scripts (`lc-elir`), and as `fuzzy_cmd` of the yazi bunny plugin. The shell pickers (`gho`, `pj`, <kbd>ctrl-e</kbd>) use [television](/tools/television). |
| `fd` | File finder | `c2p`, `cp-appid`, `extract_agents`, `mdp`, `lc-elir`, `conf.d/pnpm-filter.fish`. |
| `ripgrep` | Content search | `cp-appid`, `gtm`, `gh-sonr-org-migrate` fish functions; niri focus script. |
| `zoxide` | Frecency `cd` | `zoxide init fish` in `conf.d/40-tools.fish`; the `cd` function in fish/bash/zsh falls back to `zoxide query` when the argument is not a directory, and `ghg-clone` registers new clones. |
| `eza` | `ls` replacement | Interactive shells alias `ls` to `eza --icons` (fish `conf.d/20-aliases.fish`, `~/.config/shell/aliases.sh`). |
| `jq` | JSON processor | `fab`, `gtm`, `gh-sonr-org-migrate`, `pnpm-filter`, niri helper scripts. |
| `duf` | Disk usage overview | Not referenced by any config. |
| `btop` | Resource monitor | Waybar modules launch it on click (`omarchy-launch-or-focus-tui btop`); kitty tab bar shows an icon for it. |
| `fastfetch` | System info | Not referenced by any config. |
| `gum` | Shell prompts and pickers | `gdc` (confirm before `git reset --hard`), `ghn` (host and org pickers), `gtm`, `ai`, `pnpm-filter`, nvm activation messages. |
| `glow` | Markdown renderer | Kitty tab-bar icon only. |
| `micro` | Terminal editor | Alias `sm` = `sudo micro`. |
| `ffmpeg`, `ffmpegthumbnailer`, `poppler`, `resvg`, `imagemagick`, `7zip`, `unzip` | Media, PDF, SVG, image, and archive backends | Grouped in the manifest as yazi preview dependencies. See [Yazi](/tools/yazi). |
| `wget` | HTTP downloads | Not referenced by any config. |
| `zsh-syntax-highlighting` | zsh highlighting | Sourced by the zsh setup. See [Shell](/shell). |
| `ttf-victor-mono-nerd` / `font-victor-mono-nerd-font` | Nerd Font | Terminal font. See [Terminal](/terminal). |
| `suvadu`, `mandible` | Declared under `packages.shared.cargo` | Installed by [`15-tools`](/chezmoi/scripts#15-tools), which installs rustup first when `cargo` is missing. `mandible` backs the tmux-palette "mandible" item via `~/.local/bin/mandible-pick`. |

Tools with their own pages in other sections: [fish](/shell/fish), [starship](/shell/starship), and [atuin](/shell/atuin) under Shell; [kitty](/terminal/kitty) and [tmux](/terminal/tmux) under Terminal.

:::note
`diffnav` is in the Arch pacman list but not in the macOS Homebrew list, and `topgrade` comes from the AUR on Arch. See the individual pages for per-OS differences.
