Very helpful video! The !! alone was worth the price of admission.

I am a relatively new Linux user, and relating to the few commands I know, I got the impression that all the short options of a command start with a single '-' (e.g., ls -l) and the long ones (e.g., ls --help) with two dashes, i.e., '--'. However, the find command kind of violates this rule!? Is the syntax not consistent in bash?

First of all, thanks for the nice tutorial regarding the 'find' command! I got curious about the 'type' command you used in your video. So I tried to get more information on it by typing 'man type' into the terminal. However, my system (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) seems not to have any man page on it. Is this only specific to Ubuntu or does the 'type' command not have any manual entries in other distributions either? What does the option '-a' in type do?

"type" is a shell built-in. If you type: $ type type ...you will see that "type" is a shell built-in. Shell built-ins do not have their own dedicated man pages (there might be an exception?). With the above in mind... Anything having to do with the shell can be found in the man page for the shell. For example: $ man bash The "man" page for bash is very long. Locating the specific line where it covers the "type" command is not simple. In my MX Linux distro, the "type" command is found on line 4797 of "man bash". For most (all?) shell built-in commands, you can run: $ type --help $ cd --help $ pwd --help etc. (note that there are 2 dashes) That should provide you with something similar to the man page's output. But know that if you compare the output of "type --help" to "man bash" (and go to the corresponding line), the text is not the same. It is as if two different authors were involved. If you type: $ enable -a ...you will see a listing of all shell built-ins (enable is also a shell built-in). Cheers!
