+# 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/), including
+the most common default, Bash, create a history file that lists your past
+commands. For Bash, you can find it at "/home//.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/)? 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/) 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/).
+
+## Cheat Sheet
+
+The last, and probably simplest, option is to use a [cheat sheet](https://www.maketecheasier.com/remember-linux-commands/). There are plenty available online like [this
+one](https://www.maketecheasier.com/remember-linux-commands/) 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.
