# How to Easily Remember Linux Commands
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The command line can be daunting for new Linux users. Part of that is
|
||||
remembering the multitude of commands available. After all, in order to use
|
||||
the command line effectively, you need to know the commands.
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, there's no getting around the fact that you need to learn the
|
||||
commands, but there are some tools that can help you out when you're getting
|
||||
started.
|
||||
|
||||
## History
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing you can use to remember commands that you've already used is
|
||||
your own command line history. Most [Linux shells](https://www.maketecheasier.com/remember-linux-commands/<https:/www.maketecheasier.com/alternative-linux-shells/>), including
|
||||
the most common default, Bash, create a history file that lists your past
|
||||
commands. For Bash, you can find it at "/home/<username>/.bash_history."
|
||||
|
||||
It's a plain text file, so you can open it in any text editor and loop back
|
||||
through or even search.
|
||||
|
||||
## Apropos
|
||||
|
||||
There's actually a command that helps you find _other_ commands. It 's called
|
||||
"apropos," and it helps you find the appropriate command to complete the
|
||||
action you search or. For example, if you need to know the command to list the
|
||||
contents of a directory, you can run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
[code]
|
||||
|
||||
apropos "list directory"
|
||||
[/code]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
There's a catch, though. It's very literal. Add an "s" to "directory," and try
|
||||
again.
|
||||
|
||||
[code]
|
||||
|
||||
apropos "list directories"
|
||||
[/code]
|
||||
|
||||
It doesn't work. What `apropos` does is search through a list of commands and
|
||||
the accompanying descriptions. If your search doesn't match the description,
|
||||
it won't pick up the command as a result.
|
||||
|
||||
There is something else you can do. By using the `-a` flag, you can add
|
||||
together search terms in a more flexible way. Try this command:
|
||||
|
||||
[code]
|
||||
|
||||
apropos "match pattern"
|
||||
[/code]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You'd think it'd turn up something, like
|
||||
[grep](https://www.maketecheasier.com/remember-linux-commands/<https:/www.maketecheasier.com/what-is-grep-and-uses/>)? Instead, you
|
||||
get nothing. Again, apropos is being too literal. Now, try separating the
|
||||
words and using the `-a` flag.
|
||||
|
||||
[code]
|
||||
|
||||
apropos "match" -a "pattern"
|
||||
[/code]
|
||||
|
||||
Suddenly, you have many of the results that you'd expect.
|
||||
|
||||
apropos is a great tool, but you always need to be aware of its quirks.
|
||||
|
||||
## ZSH
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ZSH isn't really a tool for remembering commands. It's actually an alternative
|
||||
shell. You can substitute [ZSH](https://www.maketecheasier.com/remember-linux-
|
||||
commands/<https:/www.maketecheasier.com/understanding-the-different-shell-in-
|
||||
linux-zsh-shell/>) for Bash and use it as your command line shell. ZSH
|
||||
includes an autocorrect feature that catches you if you enter in a command
|
||||
wrong or misspell something. If you enable it, it'll ask you if you meant
|
||||
something close. You can continue to use the command line as you normally
|
||||
would with ZSH, but you get an extra safety net and some other really nice
|
||||
features, too. The easiest way to get the most of ZSH is with [Oh-My-
|
||||
ZSH](https://www.maketecheasier.com/remember-linux-commands/<https:/github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh>).
|
||||
|
||||
## Cheat Sheet
|
||||
|
||||
The last, and probably simplest, option is to use a [cheat sheet](https://www.maketecheasier.com/remember-linux-commands/<https:/www.maketecheasier.com/premium/cheatsheet/linux-command-line/>). There are plenty available online like [this
|
||||
one](https://www.maketecheasier.com/remember-linux-commands/<https:/www.cheatography.com/davechild/cheat-sheets/linux-command-line/>) that you can use to look up commands quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can actually even find them in image form and set one as your desktop
|
||||
wallpaper for quick reference.
|
||||
|
||||
This isn't the best solution for actually remembering the commands, but when
|
||||
you're starting out, it can save you from doing a search online every time you
|
||||
don't remember a command.
|
||||
|
||||
Rely on these methods when you're learning, and eventually you'll find
|
||||
yourself referring to them less and less. No one remembers everything, so
|
||||
don't feel bad if you occasionally forget or run into something you haven't
|
||||
seen before. That's what these resources and, of course, the Internet are
|
||||
there for.
