|
||||
|
||||
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.

|
||||
Fortunately, that statement is not true. One can happily use Linux without
|
||||
ever resorting to the use of command line. Knowing the commands helps but is
|
||||
not absolutively necessary. To paraphrase the Kix cereal commercial "Silly
|
||||
boy, Linux is not just for geeks"

No, dragonmouth, with some command line commands life could be difficult for
|
||||
you.
|
||||
It is available to know some command line commands - the above and nano, chmod
|
||||
apt-get are worth at least a look at.

|
||||
Not really. Just like Windows can be used perfectly well without resorting to
|
||||
CLI, so can Linux. The mythical "average user" will use a GUI editor instead
|

of nano, GUI package manager instead of apt-get, will not be messing around

with permission via chmod. (S)he will not need to know the command history or

similar commands (apropos) if (s)he never uses CLI. Command line is for users

like you and me who like to tinker with their O/S and get under its hood.

Agree. My wife is very non-techo and she can use Linux and Mac having never
|
||||
touched a commandline.

Have you ever learned a new word in your native language? Have you ever typed
|
||||
an email? Have you ever done so using that new word and using proper grammar?
|
||||
Did that seem like part of your everyday life?
|
||||
|
||||
Using the command line in linux is much like that. It's just not that hard and
|
||||
you might learn a little while you're at it.
|
||||
|
||||
One -can- happily use linux without ever "resorting" to the us of command
|
||||
line. The same is true of Android, IOS and Windows and in the pure GUI realm
|
||||
it makes little difference which you choose. If you want to get all the
|
||||
benefits of leaving the big corporate operating systems behind, do your self a
|
||||
favor and learn to use the command line -some of the time-. I -almost- never
|
||||
fire up linux without starting the graphical user interface. But I
|
||||
-completely- never fire up the GUI without starting a command line window.
|
||||
|
||||
Yeah, I'm a linux geek now. But when I started learning linux, I used the
|
||||
command line exclusively and that was just fine (Caveat: I did so on a spare
|
||||
computer that I could afford to wreck, although that never happened).

I'm gonna have to agree with DragonMouth on this one. my mother who's 70+ had
|
||||
a laptop given to her a while back, it was running Windows XP (that's how OLD
|
||||
it is!!) Notice I say "is" and not "was"? She's still using that laptop to
|
||||
this day, IIRC this laptop was given to her in 2011, and it ran Win XP. That
|
||||
is….until it crashed (AGAIN!)….both my Mom and I were fed up with the OS, so I
|
||||
installed Linux Mint on her laptop, and she's been using it ever since.
|
||||
(2011….remember!!?) She's not EVER had to use the CLI for ANYTHING, at
|
||||
ANYTIME. Since Linux Mint provides an updater with a GUI. And she even knows
|
||||
how to handle the issues that pop up from time to time…(like when she's
|
||||
prompted regarding a file and whether or not she wants to keep the original or
|
||||
install the developer's version? etc.) so no. It is NOT necessary to learn ANY
|
||||
command line whatsoever in order to use Linux. Does it make sense to learn it?
|
||||
Yes. Definitely. Will it make you just a bit more handy when dealing with
|
||||
Linux? Most certainly, people will turn to you when they have issues, and with
|
||||
each situation you troubleshoot and resolve, you become more proficient with
|
||||
both the various flavors of Linux and the command line. But is it ABSOLUTELY
|
||||
NECESSARY to learn the command line in order to use Linux. No….No its not.
|
||||
(Which is one of the reasons why I believe there's been more adoption of Linux
|
||||
throughout the world!)

|

|

Noman: I said it WAS running Windows XP, but that….THAT was how old it IS……to
|
||||
point out the fact that not many people are still using hardware from 2011. I
|
||||
was trying to show that you can install Linux on an old laptop and have it
|
||||
work fine for a LONG TIME, with nothing more than the regular updates and
|
||||
upgrades. And while I know (as do we all!) that some technology will die off
|
||||
and be replaced by better, the standards are there and will be for a while. So
|
||||
you could say….purchase a really decent machine today in 2017 and running
|
||||
Linux?….along with regular updates and the like…..could well see that machine
|
||||
into the year 2025! You can't do that with Windows. And I shouldn't say can't
|
||||
but you wouldn't be able to without having to re-install your OS after getting
|
||||
hit with something that had malicious intent!.
