What CLI apps you use to do common tasks like editing (pdf, audio, video, image) files.

Here is my list:

pdf - pdftk
images - imagemagickutilities
audio/video - ffmpeg
documents - libreoffice --headless mode, also pandoc
download files - wget and curl, also ytdlp for youtube, reddit
cloud storage - rclone

Rsync for moving files and backing up.
- The ultimate it-just-works CLI tool.
  Although I have never understood why it's called rsync, because you need to add --recursive to make it actually sync a file tree, which is what it does best.
  
  I think rsync is short for remote sync
  
  Amazing!
