A normalised way to handle CLI arguments and password handling via a set of available options.
Input are treated as streams.
Report progress via SIGINFO and spit out some statistic or diagnostic message.
My tools generally produce line-based output on stdout, as you would expect. If the output consists of multiple fields, it is either space- or comma separated; or JSON because the processing is easy with jq.

Some useful tips in the CLCLI to handle dotfiles and customization of the shell.

But over time, I think I discovered a better way: a script in my $PATH.

Benefits of scripts over aliases:

• No reloading; changes are picked up immediatly
• Choice of programming language
• Complex logic can be implemented
• More portable between shells

Aliases have certain benefits:

• special syntax (cd.. for cd .. with space)
• completion
• conditional definition
• easier to bypass with unalias
• brevity: it's a one liner
• performance: alias are 100x faster.
