I've been thinking on and off about packaging up a few simple Python utilities I've written to stick up on Github for people to use if they want, but, every time I go to check out how one goes about managing dependencies and all that for a project, I run into a whole wall of options. Does anyone better versed in all of this have any recommendations for me?

While I've been teaching myself my first programming language (Python), I've been getting more into using the terminal as much as possible to build familiarity and get comfortable. This has opened my eyes to so many useful utilities and makes me curious as to what there is out there that I haven't heard of yet.
My favorites so far:
exa - A modern version of "ls"
youtube-dl - Download videos from youtube.com or other video platforms with various options
hledger - Plain text double-entry accounting software based on ledger written in Haskell
thefuck - App that corrects a spelling mistake in the previous command by typing "fuck"
spicetify-cli - Customizes the Spotify client with themes and extensions
spotifyd - Lightweight Spotify daemon
spotify-tui - Control Spotify in the terminal
neofetch - Launch tool that can display ASCII art or pictures and general system information
I'm on macOS but I'm almost certain all of these are cross-platform.
What are your favorite or "must-have" CLI packages?
