Development tools
What Larch ships for development and ops work
htop and btop
htop and btop are both interactive process viewers. btop adds resource graphs (CPU, memory, disk, network) and a fancier UI; htop is the lighter, older standby.
lazygit
lazygit is a terminal UI for git: stage hunks, rebase, browse the log, without memorizing flags.
paru
paru is an AUR helper, a pacman wrapper that also builds and installs AUR packages.
uv
uv is a Python package and project manager: dependency resolution, virtualenvs, and Python version management in one fast tool.
k3d and kubectl
k3d runs k3s (lightweight Kubernetes) inside Docker, for spinning up a local cluster without a VM. kubectl is the standard Kubernetes CLI, for talking to that cluster or any other.
herdr
herdr is a terminal runtime for coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, keeping sessions persistent and reattachable.
