Socket & port monitoring on Linux.
Alternative to Netstat with human-friendly output. Uses a table view with filtering options (protocol, ports, IP, program, PID, etc). Launches with common settings from Netstat by default. Built-in kill option based on an interactive ID selector. Available as a single binary (Rust).
Linux only.
Git manager for VS Code.
Adds power features to managing Git through VS Code, inspired by Magit. Makes it more efficient to manage branches, stage changes, and create commits. Integrates with VS Code command palette, but is designed for fast keyboard actions. Can also interact with GitHub issues and PRs. Supports vim bindings.
Not fully functional compared to Magit - missing advanced options for diffs, bisect, patch.
