This repository is a curated list of development tools and resources, categorized for easy navigation. It serves as a personal toolbox for developers, researchers, and power users looking for efficient solutions across various domains, from coding and automation to system administration and data management.

How It Works

The repository functions as a comprehensive directory, listing and briefly describing a wide array of open-source and proprietary tools. Each entry is tagged with platform compatibility (Mac, Linux, Windows) and installation methods (e.g., Homebrew, Docker). The author emphasizes that only tools they actively use are included, with updates reflecting their current preferences.

Quick Start & Requirements

This repository is a list of tools, not a single installable application. Users should refer to the individual tool's documentation for installation and usage instructions.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive categorization covering almost all aspects of software development and IT operations.
• Platform compatibility indicators (Ⓜ Mac, Ⓛ Linux, ⓦ Windows) and installation hints (Ⓗ Homebrew, ⱳ Web service, ⓒ Chrome plugin) are provided for most entries.
• Includes a "History Pearls" section for meaningful but lesser-known projects.
• Features a "Teach You Search" section with tools to improve search engine usage.

Maintenance & Community

The repository is maintained by ADoyle, who explicitly states they do not accept Pull Requests but encourages discussion in the "Discussions" section or via email. The project is continuously updated.

Licensing & Compatibility

The project itself is licensed under the BSD 3-clause License. Individual tools listed within the repository will have their own respective licenses, which users must verify for compatibility, especially for commercial use.

Limitations & Caveats

The author's personal preference dictates the inclusion of tools, meaning some popular or powerful alternatives might be omitted. The repository is primarily in Chinese, requiring translation for non-Chinese speakers. Some tools may have specific dependencies or setup requirements not detailed here.
