Solve exercises by writing Bash one-liners. The server actually runs your commands and checks whether the output is correct.

If you click on View Solutions, the correct commands other people entered are sorted by character count. So if you want, you can take the optional code golfing challenge.

I gained some knowledge from solving the challenges and looking at the solutions. Mostly you will use find and grep.

wttr.in is a console-oriented weather forecast service that supports various information representation methods like terminal-oriented ANSI-sequences for console HTTP clients (curl, httpie, or wget), HTML for web browsers, or PNG for graphical viewers.

Thanks to chubin for this.

Technical documentation often looks and feels intimdating. Dash Dash takes the Unix (Linux, BSD, macOS) open source manual pages and sets the content in a beautiful set of typefaces while adding just a bit of animation and design. We hope this resource helps designers and non-technical folks appreciate and love the command line like we do!

If you are currently using z, autojump, fasd or similar, take a look at it. frece is the kind of tool that does one thing well and can be used in ways the authors didn’t think of.

In my case it replaced mlocate. See open-files-frece and frece-updatedb.

It is written in Rust and available in the AUR.
