    Which Linux command or utility is simple, powerful, and surprisingly unknown to many people or used less often?

    This could be a command or a piece of software or an application.

    For example I'm surprised to find that many people are unaware of Caddy, a very simple web server that can make setting up a reverse proxy incredibly easy.

    Another example is fzf. Many people overlook this, a fast command-line fuzzy finder. It’s versatile for searching files, directories, or even shell history with minimal effort.

      Using rust rewrite of coreutils you can cp -g to see progress. Set an alias 🙂

        pdfgrep for the well maintained company's project folder of your choice.

            Where can this variant of coreutils be found? This is the first time I have heard of it.
