Timeline of Unix Command Line Tools by initial release date.

A Unix Command Line tool is a loose awkward definition. We’re aiming to exclude:

• Software Applications - like docker. While it has a command line tool, it is just a small part to manage the application. Same argument with the aws CLI tools.
• Unix Software Suites - Commands like iptables, iproute2, cron, systemd are excluded.
• Programming Languages - Although, some are used as command line tools now. sed, awk. Whereas, even though python and perl are used as a command line tool it’s not on the list.

Please send me an email or make a comment if you find data inaccuracies or missing command line tools.
