The biggest thing preventing me from learning more CLI explained in one sentence, I'll definitely be looking into this.
- jlundberg 3y agoI highly recommend: cmd —help man cmd ls -la /usr/share/doc/cmd While some of the language can be daunting, it is generally good reads. And these days we have ChatGPT etc that can help explain tricky words etc in more context, even if you native language is not English. My new default advice actually for junior developers here in Sweden. Works for many other tech areas too, not just the terminal.
- bregma 3y agoAh, yes. In English we used to spell that R-T-F-M.
- casey2 3y agoLack in discoverability compared to what? GUI apps? Web browsers? LOL. Those are intentionally designed to make you use them inefficiently.
- underwater 3y agoYou should check out https://tldr.sh/ https://tldr.sh/ It gives you practical examples for common use cases.
