bat exa fd tldr rg and khal

I was looking for a CLI calendar app that does appointments (I’m hoping for something that can slurp invites from Mutt) and I stumbled over some interesting programs for the command line.

Bat - it’s like cat but does syntax highlighting and knows git
exa - it’s like ls and I’ll probably forget it exists
fd - find command with pretty much just as terrible a syntax
tldr - like man, but generally just examples

=> source itsfoss

ripgrep - rg is a grep replacement and it’s possibly faster
drill - replaces dig

=> source redhat

I still didn’t find what I was looking for. khal has some of the features, but about 20 years ago I used a program with a name like cal but perhaps it had one more letter in front of the name. it advertised itself as a replacement for the cal command and I swear it could do appointments. I don’t think it was ncal but perhaps I’m just not remembering.

khal spews all sorts of deprecation warnings, too…

Remind can probably do all I need.
