How to find all the available tools in macOS terminal?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}







5















I am trying to setup a bunch of development projects in my Mac. I have to run various tools like python, ruby, scala, groovy etc.
To see if a tool is available I use options like



ruby --version. 


Instead I would like to see all the list of tools available in Mac terminal via a single command.



Are there commands for listing some or all shell programs?

          See the answers from this U&L Q&A titled:
          List all commands that a shell knows
          .



          My personal favorite is to utilize compgen since this is part of the family of tools used to build all the tab completion when you're in a terminal and hit tab> + tab twice.



          $ compgen -c


          Example



          $ compgen -c | tail
          deepcopy-gen
          kube-controller-manager
          informer-gen
          lister-gen
          etcd
          gen-apidocs
          kube-apiserver
          kubectl
          kubebuilder
          conversion-gen


          Incidentally, if you want to know where one of these executables lives on your HDD use type -a <cmd> to find it:



          $ type -a ansible
          ansible is aliased to `ANSIBLE_CONFIG=~/.ansible.cfg ansible'
          ansible is /usr/local/bin/ansible


          This shows that the command ansible is an alias and also lives locally on the HDD here: /usr/local/bin/ansible.

            The easiest is simply to open the Terminal and then press the TAB key twice. You'll be asked if you want to see all possibilities - reply "y" and you'll get the full list.

              You could take the PATH variable and translate the colons into spaces then list the files in those directories.



              ls  $(tr ':' ' ' <<<"$PATH")
