Graue Utils

Small miscellaneous command-line tools I have found useful to keep around.

Some of these are many zillions of years old. They were not under version control before 2012, but got copied from machine to machine.

But now... it's the future and everything is in git!

The one I think is coolest is:

sponge

Sponge lets you use a pipe to seemingly modify a file "in place":

sort <foo | sponge foo

It works by creating a temporary file that sucks down all the input. Finally, this gets moved to the given filename.

I'll admit I haven't actually used this program in years, but it works and seemed clever as hell when I first made it.
