Fluency on the command line is a skill often neglected or considered arcane, but it improves your flexibility and productivity as an engineer in both obvious and subtle ways. This is a selection of notes and tips on using the command-line that we’ve found useful when working on Linux. Some tips are elementary, and some are fairly specific, sophisticated, or obscure. This page is not long, but if you can use and recall all the items here, you know a lot.

I just use Linux as my “daily driver” OS and use the command line cuz it’s just fun to use and some things are just straight up faster on here.
Oosh… Well, as an amateur at all of this, I understand enough of the command line to function. And I’m familiar with at least the basics from this…
I will say I’m interested in getting better with the terminal, but on the other hand I don’t spend enough time behind the screen to justify the needed time investment.
But cool guide nonetheless, fun to read through and maybe see if something sticks in my mind.
The command line is great. Why click “Install Updates” when you can type “sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade” instead?
