    When you're deep in the codebase and realize that you haven't commited any of your hard work to GitHub, it's annoying to have to jump over to your browser, surf to https://github.com, create a new repo, etc. That context switch just pulled you away from your important work and forced you to interact with – _gulp_ – a GUI interface. How unfitting.

    This is where `hub` comes into play. Important tasks that you were once only able to do through GitHub are now available via the terminal. Want to create a new remote repo and automatically set GitHub as the origin? `hub create`. Want to open a pull request? `hub pull-request`. Want to view your remote repo on GitHub from any sub-directory? `hub browse`. Of course this is not an exhaustive list of commands for `hub`. Use `hub --help` or `man hub` for more information, customizing flags, and other goodies.

    Okay, this might be the coolest one I have found. This extends `brew` past the scope of the terminal and into your GUI applications. For example, you want to install Spotify. Instead of going to your browser to https://www.spotify.com, clicking "Download Spotify", opening the zipped pacakge, etc., all you have to run is `cask install spotify`, and boom, it will be downloaded to your computer without any hassle.

    ### Keep It Clean

    With all this awesomeness, it's easy to forget that these tools need to be polished and take care of to perform correctly. I'll make it easy for you with a few aliases I created:
    ```sh
    alias brewup='brew update; brew upgrade; brew prune; brew cleanup; brew doctor'
    ```
    `brewup` will make it easy to keep homebrew neat. The first two commands I explained earlier. The third command, `brew prune`, will remove dead symlinks from the Homebrew prefix. This may sound confusing, and generally isn't needed, but it's never a bad idea to run. `brew cleanup` will remove any older versions of packages that you have, keeping things up to date. And last, `brew doctor` will check your system for potential problems. If no problems exist, you should see `Your system is ready to brew` after the doctor command runs.

    This is easily one of my favorites. You can think of `hub` as all the same functionality of `git`, but with add-ons that make it compatible with GitHub.

    When you're deep in the codebase and realize that you haven't commited any of your hard work to GitHub, it's annoying to have to jump over to your browser, surf to https://github.com, create a new repo, etc. That context switch just pulled you away from your important work and forced you to interact with – _gulp_ – a GUI interface. How unfitting. This is where `hub` comes into play. Important tasks that you were once only able to do through GitHub are now available via the terminal. Want to create a new remote repo and automatically set GitHub as the origin? `hub create`. Want to open a pull request? `hub pull-request`. Want to view your remote repo on GitHub from any sub-directory? `hub browse`. Of course this is not an exhaustive list of commands for `hub`. Use `hub --help` or `man hub` for more information, customizing flags, and other goodies.

    #### `brew install the_silver_searcher`

    A quick and dirty way to search through any file structure for a key word or phrase.

    You're in your Rails app and need to find all instances of `current_user`? `ag current_user`. `ag` is used for two reasons: 1) it would be awful to type `the_silver_seracher` before everything you want to search, 2) AG is the symbol for the chemical element silver. A common flag includes running the search with `--context`, which will print out the lines before and after the key phrase.

    Some of you may be thinking, _yeah, but I already have grep (or ack) which serves the same purpose_. Try benchmarking `ag` vs. `grep`, you will find that `ag` is insurmountable when it comes to performance; `grep` may not even be able to run a search if the scope is too large.

    Use `ag --help` or `man ag` for more information.
