Which shell? If you’re using bash, you’re missing out - so I’d first upgrade to zsh or fish, which have better options.

The other thing I’d do is get really really good at writing shell scripts. Also nowadays it’s super easy to take an existing complex one liner and ask GPT to make it a robust script with args (but check it of course!)

I also like some of the other suggestions if you’re predisposed to them already, like Makefiles, which are simple, flexible, and powerful.
