I'll detail some of my favorites for Alfred, in the terminal, and in sublime-text. Alfred I like http://www.alfredapp.com. Gives you immediate access to lots of tools and you can install custom workflows. A few favorites: sublime workflow - https://github.com/franzheidl/alfred-workflows/tree/master/o... - Useful for opening folders or files in sublime. git repos - https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-repos - Search local repos in alfred font-awesome search https://github.com/ruedap/alfred-font-awesome-workflow - Retrieve css for fontawesome.com icons. HN - https://github.com/wkgg/hackerNews-alfred-workflow Shows hacker news in Alfred. I've also written a couple workflows. There is a really nice python library: https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-workflow that makes it easy. gist-alfred - https://github.com/danielecook/gist-alfred - Search an

d copy github gists from alfred. Quiver-alfred - https://github.com/danielecook/Quiver-alfred - Search and open quiver notes codebox-alfred - https://github.com/danielecook/codebox-alfred - Search and copy codebox snippets. I've come to rely on the codebox and gist workflows for managing snippets quite a bit. Terminal Autojump https://github.com/wting/autojump - Remembers what directories you have visited and allows you to jump to them. Jump to them by typing j <fuzzy search dir name> pyenv - https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv + python-virtualenv - Manage python versions or virtual environments at the directory level. Makes managing multiple projects with different software requirements much easier. direnv - https://direnv.net - Similar to pyenv except it allows you to set environmental variables. Useful for setting things like API keys. Sublime-Text I'm a big fan of sublime text. Some of my favorite packages are: git - https://github.com/kemayo/sublime-text-git - Add, commit, branch, push, pull GitGutter - https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter - Shows which lines are modified, added, and deleted in the gutter of the editor. SendCode - https://github.com/randy3k/SendCode - Send code to the terminal/iTerm/IDE. SublimeLinter-flake8 - https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter-flake8 - Used to clean up Python code.

Here are a few plugins I rely upon that make Sublime much easier to use (that weren't on that list). * GitGutter: Adds symbols beside the line # on modified lines. A feature widespread in other editors with Git integration. I haven't found a plugin to mark modified files in the sidebar (which is also another common feature). - https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter * Missing Palette Commands: Adds a few commands like setting the indentation for the specific file only. You can see a full list in the link. - https://github.com/fjl/Sublime-Missing-Palette-Commands/blob... * Open Folder: Open up the selected folder in explorer/etc. * Terminal: Open the selected folder in the terminal. - http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/terminal

re: git changes, after seeing such a plugin for sublime (https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter) I went ahead and implemented the same thing for Vim (https://bitbucket.org/sirpengi/iwilldiffer). The plugin is still in beta status yet with compatibility, and I should make it easier to install with the various plugin managers as well as make the feature async (right now, the UI blocks waiting on the diff command). But otherwise, I'm using it daily and it supports mercurial as well as git.
