A command line tool to help you remember to use different command line tools. This tool exists as a little script to help you try to use alternative command line tools. terminalist.py creates symlinks for command line tools that have alternatives that you choose, and, instead of running the old tool, reminds you to run the new tool, and gives you some tips for translating command line arguments. It exists as a way to break habits and form new ones. For example, the tool fd (is a modern take on the venerable find. In order to learn how to use fd, it is beneficial to start using it daily. But, muscle memory from years of using find makes it difficult to remember to use something new. That's where terminalist.py comes in. It works by making itself a symlink to find, so that if you type find, it runs this script instead. Running find then reports how to use fd instead, offering translations for (a subset of) the find command line arguments that you specified. In this way, this tool acts as sort of an interjection between the "old" tool, the user, and the alternative tool.
