MacOS has many different CLI tooling built in. Did you know you can copy paste things with terminal command? Or measure internet speed with it?

Here's thread 🧵 with different pre-installed tooling that will make you more productive. ⬇️

1/5 ✂️ Copy paste! You can take output from bash command and store the result in your clip board using "pbcopy" and "pbpaste".

2/5 📂 When using terminal, you sometimes need to open file / directory in different application - like "subl file.txt", but did you know you can open it in Finder as well using "open"?

3/5 🏎️ There's also built in network speed measurement tool "networkQuality". No need to go to speedtest. you can get your network speed directly in terminal.

If you want to measure more data, such as packet loss and get network route quality, use "mtr".

4/5 🆔 As a developer, you sometimes need to generate UUIDs. On MacOS you can do that directly from the terminal.

By default "uuidgen" generates uppercase UUIDs, but run that through "tr" and you will get lowercase ones.

BTW. on last picture, there's also variant for Linux.

5/5 💤 If you don't want your computer to go to sleep/turn off display/logout or shut down, you can use "caffeinate" command that will not allow your computer to go to sleep. Super helpful if you want to just listen to music or watch your movie without interruptions.
