From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Personally if its just a bash command then I dont bother with formatting and just do one-liners. If I want it to look pretty then I’ll put it in a script. If I need to edit something you can use shortcuts like these to jump around the command line to edit whatever you need
Hey, thank you for your response :)
It's not about looking pretty, I like to navigate freely like CTRL-E, CTRL-A, ALT-B, ALT-F... speeds up the process and is frictionless (like your link suggests it :P). Sometimes I copy/past an already written command in the CLI with multilines and not being able to navigate thourgh them is frustrating !
