I'm happy to announce that we have released Visit. This tool can display the response of any URL. Think of it as curl for humans. By default, the output will be colourized, and the response code and time will be displayed after the response.

JSON responses will be colourized by default as well.

And there's integration with Laravel: it can log in any user, report the numbers of queries used to build up the response, and more.

I'd like to tell you all about it in this blog post.

Remy Sharp, a well known JavaScript developer, published a cool list of standard CLI tools replacements.

I'm not sure many web developers can get away without visiting the command line. As for me, I've been using the command line since 1997, first at university when I felt both super cool l33t-hacker and simultaneously utterly out of my depth. Over the years my command line habits have improved and I often search for smarter tools for the jobs I commonly do. With that said, here's my current list of improved CLI tools.

Transfer.sh is a free service by Dutchcoders that allows you to easily share files from the command line. Here's an example of how you can use it:

transfer my-favorite-file.txt

The given file will be uploaded to the transfer.sh-servers and the command will respond with a short url linking to that file. Pretty neat!

The only thing you need to do is set up a bash function called "transfer" (you can name it anything you want really).

Don't trust the transfer.sh with your supersecret files? Then you can set up your own server to transfer the files to.

When creating output from a Symfony based console command you might have created a title using code like this:

$output->writeln('');
$output->writeln('<info>Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet</>');
$output->writeln('<info>==========================</>');
$output->writeln('');

Starting from Symfony 2.7 there's a nice way to style the output of console commands. This code produces the same output as the example above

$io = new SymfonyStyle($input, $output)
$io->title('Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet');

There are styles for titles, sections, questions, tables, and so on. Take a look at the documention to learn what's possible.
