# [Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/) + a ton of non-standard packages that were already installed on my machine, non-competing 83 bytes

```bash
tabs #bash: set tabs on a terminal
cd #bash: change directory
efibootmgr #linux: modify the EFI boot manager
ghh #git: alias of git help
dijkstra #graphviz: reads a stream of graphs and for each computes the distance of every node from sourcenode.
lmdown #flexLM : shut down the FlexLM licence manager daemon
open #linux : open program on a new virtual terminal
qrencode #qrencode: encode stdin as QR code
gstu #git: alias of git stash push --include-untracked
vmware-user #vmware: daemon that allows drag-and-drop and clipboard sync to the VM guest running this
gssproxy #libvirt: daemon to manage access to GSSAPI credentials.
zcat #gzip : cat but for gzipped input
```

So obviously this is very silly, hence non-competing, especially when you consider the stuff that's available on this machine (nobody except me has flexLM installed). To make it somewhat fair, I have not installed a single package to answer this, I simply looked at my available commands.

Technically, almost all of these will complain about missing arguments. this does not prevent bash from correctly executing each program and letting it print whatever it wants to stdout/stderr :)
