Command Line Crash Course For Beginners | Terminal Commands

This is a course for beginners to learn how to navigate the terminal/command line. I tried to make it as OS agnostic as possible, but if you are on Windows, I suggest using something like "Git Bash".

CLI tools are very powerful Always keep fresh backups to restore to a stable stage as eventually you will mess something up as you tinker using a terminal.

[@yomajo]

For head and tail, you don't actually need -n parameter (at least on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). Just type "head -2" or "tail -3" for top/bottom 2/3 lines accordingly.

[@billjellesma1371]

I didn't actually know that we could redo commands from the history output by just using an ! before the number. That's a lot more efficient than using the arrow keys a million times to find the command that I used yesterday

[@user-zl6tc5fu9u]

"it's just stuff you can't do from the graphical interface" - As long as you're not using the legendary Total Commander

[@bru513]

Is there an opposite command for start? Example start chrome opens the chrome app. Can I close it? I tried quit, close, kill... none of them worked and I couldn't find anything online so far.

[@pieflies]

The kill and pkill commands should work. pkill will take the program name as the argument but for kill you need the process id (pid). You can get the pid using the ps command, which will show all running processes. You can combine that with grep to find specific programs. Eg. ps aux | grep ‘program name’ You can also use the pgrep command to find the pid.
