Scoop Installer
A command-line installer for Windows
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows. If you have built software that you would like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (like MSI or InnoSetup). You just need to compress your app to a .zip file and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it. Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcut, inside the ~\scoop\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'. This way, packages are always cleanly uninstalled and you can be sure what tools are currently in your PATH and in your Start menu. -

GeoIP
This project automatically generates GeoIP files in multiple formats
GeoIP is a community-maintained project that generates and publishes enhanced GeoIP/Geo-database and IP-location/routing data in multiple formats (e.g. V2Ray .dat, MaxMind .mmdb, and others) to support proxy, VPN, or routing tools requiring IP-to-country/region resolution. Rather than depending solely on the official GeoLite2 data, geoip augments and merges data sources (especially for certain regions) to improve coverage or tailor by use-case (e.g. proxy-specific rules, private networks, or region-based classification). The repo provides automated, periodic releases (e.g. weekly or on schedule) and also offers a CLI tool so users can regenerate or customize geo data in the format they need — for example, producing a .dat file for V2Ray / Xray-core, or a MaxMind-compatible .mmdb. -

jdbc2csv.jar
Command-line sql JDBC tool
jdbc2csv is a small command-line tool written in JAVA and can be used on all platforms, for which JRE 8 or higher is available. To connect to a specific DBMS the tool uses its JDBC driver. The result of the executed 'select' query is displayed in CSV format ( different standards are supported ). When there is an error the tool stops with exit code 1 and the error message is output on stderr. jdbc2csv is created with a main purpose to be used in shell-scripts. Relatively easy to configurate, this tool is suitable for queries ‘select’, ‘update’ and ‘delete’. I think that is not suitable for a large number of requests, like 'insert'. -

XcodeGen
A Swift command line tool for generating your Xcode project
XcodeGen is a command line tool written in Swift that generates your Xcode project using your folder structure and a project spec. The project spec is a YAML or JSON file that defines your targets, configurations, schemes, custom build settings and many other options. All your source directories are automatically parsed and referenced appropriately while preserving your folder structure. Sensible defaults are used in many places, so you only need to customize what is needed. Very complex projects can also be defined using more advanced features. Generate projects on demand and remove your .xcodeproj from git, which means no more merge conflicts! Automatically generate Schemes for different environments like test and production. Share build settings across multiple targets with build setting groups. Easily copy and paste files and directories without having to edit anything in Xcode. -

cheat.sh
The only cheat sheet you need
cheat.sh is a compact, network-accessible cheat-sheet service that serves concise examples and usage notes for hundreds of shell commands, programming languages, and tools via a simple HTTP interface. You can query it from the terminal (for example curl cht.sh/rsync or curl cheat.sh/ls) or browse the web front page; it also supports a shorthand hostname (cht.sh) and provides both online and standalone/local installation modes. The repository contains the server and client code, instructions to run a local standalone instance (including Python virtualenv setup), and tooling to fetch or maintain the upstream cheat-sheet data; installation documentation explains disk-space needs and dependency setup for offline use. Cheat.sh is intentionally minimal and scriptable, so it fits naturally into shells, CI scripts, editors, and quick lookups without leaving the terminal, while also offering ways to extend or host personal cheat sheets.
