Modern Linux Tools: Command-Line Help

A few of my favorite modern Unix tools:
- TLDR: Show well-documented, useful examples of commands.
- mcfly: better shell history reverse-search (ctrl-r).

Thank you to interviewing. io for sponsoring this video!

Great suggestions 🙌 I have a few of my own, that really makes a difference, though those are a bit scoped (focused more on one job). `ncdu` or `dust` for checking file size, clean-up; `wd` for faster travel to more common directories. `broot` for file search. And last, but not least, not a command, but whole tool - `ranger`, a 'midnight commander' with vim bindings 👍

I have been using linux for about 5 years now as a SysAdmin/DevOps and I had no idea that tldr exists thanks for posting that mate.

Oh man. I don't even use linux for work, just a home tinkerer, but these tools are genuine quality of life improvements. Thanks so much for the recommendations.

[AdelAdel-pnbq]

this is so freaking helpful, ive never understood man pages and needed an alternative

[daviddk]

Very interesting! Thanks! But no matter the tool, no one knows the Tar command. Happy new year.

Dave thank you for sharing!!! This will save me hours! Wish i knew about tldr years back.

It's not related with the video but with linux: How to install fingerprint reader: U.ARE.U 4500 fingerprint reader Digital Persona, inc (crossmatch patented) on Linux?
Any way that works and is safe?

[YordaNii]

Both are really game changers, thank you !

[promaja]

1:02 I totally feel you regarding the man page...

[kristoffseisler]

I like the idea of TLDR but it feels like either a really new or an abandoned project since it doesn't really have many entries

[ewaldblau]

Thank you very much for the effort it will be very helpful. Please continue with this kind of material/videos.

nice one, well I have my own alias for shell history, if it can be useful for anyone, that goes like, alias hfind=`history | grep`; and I simpy run it like
$hfind stop

it gives me the commands, that included stop, at times very helpful when i need to run a very long command which I have ran earlier too, and then simply $!<command_number>

anyways, tldr looks super useful

[name_ne]

Thanks a lot for sharing this knowledge.

Please make a video on Shell, Terminal, Console, Character/ Text Mode

Basically explain everything about the Linux Console Mode from zero, Please, this will clear lots of common misconceptions

[AlexanderKhiluck]

Wow! Thats amazing!!! Thanks a lot, pls, make a videos like this.

[felipeagn]

Thanks for the great suggestions buddy! Just started using both of them mcfly and tldr and they made everything easier. Also i wanted to know the playlist you used for this video i really liked the music background. Again, thanks a lot for the content, always great to see you!

I have tldr from the pacman repos, tried it from pip3 and the pacman version seems a bit faster. I wonder if this is from the cache?
