[Open-source tool recommendations] x-cmd: A command-line interface written in the POSIX shell

I absolutely love this weekly news blog! It always introduces me to some really useful tools. I'd like to share a productivity tool I'm using right now. If you think it's good, maybe you could share it in your weekly blog.

x-cmd: A vast and interesting collection of CLI that can then bootstrap lots of other programs / functions in a consistent and structured way (X bootstrap 1000+ tools and your scripts)

Tools Provided by x-cmd:

• Wrappers for Common Commands (e.g., cd, ip, ps, tar, apt, brew): These wrapped commands are more intelligent and easier to use compared to the native commands.
• Lightweight Package Management Tool: We have implemented a lightweight package management tool using shell and awk. Through it, you can quickly obtain most common software tools, such as jq, 7za, bat, nvim, python, node, go, etc.
• CLI for Useful Websites (e.g., github.com, cht.sh): We have wrapped their APIs using shell and awk for daily use and to obtain corresponding services in scripts.
• AI Tools: We provide CLIs for ChatGPT, Gemini, Jina.ai, etc., and have wrapped corresponding shortcut commands for different application scenarios, such as @gemini for chatting with Gemini AI and @zh for using AI to translate specified content or command results.
