Spring Boot
Easily create Spring-powered, production-grade applications
Spring Boot lets you create stand-alone, production-grade, Spring-based applications and services with minimal fuss. It offers a radically faster and highly accessible manner for starting all Spring development. By taking an opinionated view of the Spring platform, it enables you to quickly and easily get to the bits you need. Most Spring Boot applications need minimal Spring configuration. You can use it to create a stand-alone Java application or more traditional WAR deployments. A command line tool is also provided that allows you to run spring scripts. -

Pluto
A cli tool to help discover deprecated apiVersions in Kubernetes
Kubernetes sometimes deprecates API versions. Most notably, a large number of deprecations happened in the 1.16 release. This is fine, and it's a fairly easy thing to deal with. However, it can be difficult to find all the places where you might have used a version that will be deprecated in your next upgrade. You might think, "I'll just ask the api-server to tell me!", but this is fraught with danger. If you ask the API-server to give you deployments.v1.apps, and the deployment was deployed as deployments.v1beta1.extensions, the API-server will quite happily convert the API version and return a manifest with apps/v1. This is fairly well outlined in the discussion of this issue. -

Filament
Real-time physically based rendering engine for Android, iOS, and more
Filament is a real-time physically-based renderer written in C++. It is mobile-first, but also multi-platform. We are very conscientious about keeping Filament small, fast to load, and focused on rendering. For example, Filament does not compile materials at run time. Instead, we provide a command line tool (matc) that does this offline. Filament is a physically based rendering (PBR) engine for Android. The goal of Filament is to offer a set of tools and APIs for Android developers that will enable them to create high quality 2D and 3D rendering with ease. For both artists and developers, our system will rely on as few parameters as possible to reduce trial and error and allow users to quickly master the material model. A physically based approach must not preclude non-realistic rendering. User interfaces for instance will need unlit materials. Our primary goal is to design and implement a rendering system able to perform efficiently on mobile platforms. -

GAM
Command line management for Google Workspace
GAM is a command line tool that allows administrators to manage many aspects of their Google Workspace (formerly G Suite / Google Apps) Account. This page provides simple instructions for downloading, installing and starting to use GAM. GAM requires paid (or Education/non-profit) editions of Google Workspace. G Suite Legacy Free Edition has limited API support and not all GAM commands work. While many GAM functions do not require domain administrative privileges, the setup does. Download GAM, then run the MSI installer. By default, GAM will install to C:\GAM but you can change this to wherever you prefer. GAM will also be added to your path so you can run GAM even if you're not in the GAM folder. At the end of the MSI install process, GAM will open a command prompt to allow you to setup a project and authorize GAM for admin management and user data/config access. -

agent-browser
Browser automation CLI for AI agents
agent-browser is a toolkit that embeds AI agent capabilities directly into the web browser, enabling agents to interact with web content, scripts, and user actions while maintaining security boundaries that respect user privacy and browser constraints. It effectively provides a sandbox where AI agents can read, scroll, click, and interpret pages in context, allowing them to automate workflows, answer questions about page content, or generate structured summaries directly from the user’s current tab. The project emphasizes standards and safety, defining interfaces that let agents access DOM data, interpret events, and generate actionable insights without exposing sensitive credential-level access or violating policy boundaries. Users benefit from a tighter feedback loop: agents can observe user tasks in-situ and respond with contextually relevant actions or suggested steps, like form completion, navigation shortcuts, or detailed explanations of UI elements. -

Developers can scaffold test files, record browser interactions as code, and run tests in headless or headed modes without needing a complex setup, dramatically reducing the barrier to writing robust UI tests. Playwright-CLI includes utilities for running tests in parallel across multiple devices, capturing screenshots and videos on failures, and outputting detailed reports that help diagnose flaky behavior or regressions. It also integrates with CI/CD pipelines, making it simple to automate testing as part of build and deployment workflows. -

aws-encryption-sdk-cli
CLI wrapper around aws-encryption-sdk-python
This command line tool can be used to encrypt and decrypt files and directories using the AWS Encryption SDK. If you have not already installed cryptography, you might need to install additional prerequisites as detailed in the cryptography installation guide for your operating system. Installation using a python virtual environment is recommended to avoid conflicts between system packages and user-installed packages. For the most part, the behavior of aws-encryption-cli in handling files is based on that of GNU CLIs such as cp. A qualifier to this is that when encrypting a file, if a directory is provided as the destination, rather than creating the source filename in the destination directory, a suffix is appended to the destination filename. By default the suffix is .encrypted when encrypting and .decrypted when decrypting, but a custom suffix can be provided by the caller if desired. -

Fortio load testing library, command line tool, advanced echo server
Fortio (Φορτίο) started as, and is, Istio’s load testing tool and later (2018) graduated to be its own open-source project. Fortio runs at a specified query per second (qps) and records an histogram of execution time and calculates percentiles (e.g. p99 ie the response time such as 99% of the requests take less than that number (in seconds, SI unit)). It can run for a set duration, for a fixed number of calls, or until interrupted (at a constant target QPS, or max speed/load per connection/thread). Fortio is a fast, small (4Mb docker image, minimal dependencies), reusable, embeddable go library as well as a command line tool and server process, the server includes a simple web UI and REST API to trigger run and see graphical representation of the results (both a single latency graph and a multiple results comparative min, max, avg, qps and percentiles graphs). -

Kubernetes port forwarding for local development. kubefwd is a command line utility built to port forward multiple services within one or more namespaces on one or more Kubernetes clusters. kubefwd uses the same port exposed by the service and forwards it from a loopback IP address on your local workstation. kubefwd temporally adds domain entries to your /etc/hosts file with the service names it forwards. When working on our local workstation, my team and I often build applications that access services through their service names and ports within a Kubernetes namespace. kubefwd allows us to develop locally with services available as they would be in the cluster. -
