Gadget Tool-belt 🧰🛠️

I'm sure most of you know that salesforce has various tools out there that you can use as an system administrator/dev to make your life easier. But which ones are the best?

Well I don't have the answer to that exact question but I do have a list of chrome apps and web apps that I make use of and can't live without. I don't like a toolbar full of apps so this is my must have list.

My application tool-belt:


General:

Scoop - https://scoop.sh/ || Brew - https://brew.sh/

#my day 1 install script depending on if I'm running OSX/Windows
#install brew/scoop (see my previous post for full details)

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -scope CurrentUser 
iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex \r

scoop install git \r
scoop add bucket extras \r
scoop install 7zip ditto greenshot telegram whatsapp aira2 \r

||

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" \r
