I think is in portuguese

I seem to use chmod quite a bit.

Example

Allow file to be executed

chmod +x file.sh

File Contents

#!/bin/bash
printf "chmod Rocks! \n\n";

Execute file from the command line

./file.sh

Output

chmod Rocks!

Examples

Compress

timestamp=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
tar -zcvf archive.$timestamp.tar.gz myFolder

tar -zcvf data.tgz *.doc
tar -zcvf pics.tar.gz *.jpg *.png
tar -jcvf data.tbz2 *.doc
ls -l

gzip mydata.doc
gzip *.jpg
ls -l

bzip2 mydata.doc
bzip2 *.jpg
ls -l

zip mydata.zip mydata.doc
zip data.zip *.doc
ls -l

Decompress

tar -zxvf data.tgz 
tar -zxvf pics.tar.gz *.jpg
tar -jxvf data.tbz2

gzip -d mydata.doc.gz
gunzip mydata.doc.gz

bzip2 -d mydata.doc.bz2
gunzip mydata.doc.bz2

unzip file.zip
unzip data.zip resume.doc

I'd like to do a translation of this wiki into Latin American Spanish.
I've already started. Is this ok?

Examples

x=12345
echo $x

timestamp=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
echo $timestamp;

hello=hello;
world=world;
echo $hello $world

Consider adding grep

Examples

Contents of filename.txt

a/b/c
a/b/c.zip

Search File Contents

# find all lines that contain "a/b/c"
grep "a/b/c" filename.txt

# find all lines that contain "a/b/c" or print if none are found.
grep "a/b/c" filename.txt || printf "\nNo Matches Found.\n"

# find all lines that contain "a/b/c" and do not include ".zip"
grep "a/b/c" filename.txt | grep -v ".zip"

Search Command History

# find all lines in bash history that contain the search_pattern
history | grep search_pattern

I will do the translation of the Wiki that was created for you.
I will do the translation into Portuguese of Brazil.

Consider adding pbcopy, pbpaste

Seems like in the description you meant 'file' instead of 'fi'.

Russian translation contains some typos.
There is the PR to fix them: #77

grep -r [search_pattern] [file] Recursively search for all lines that do not contain the pattern

should be

lines that contain the pattern

It seems that at least since macOS Sierra Option + → and Option + ← are equivalent to ESC then F and ESC then B.

Since they are easier to use it may be worth documenting them as well.

Hi, this repo is great, serving as a good reference.

Can you add flow control tips?

• command && command
• command || command
• Same things just with one & (what's the difference?)
• command & (I think it put the result in a background process?)

Thanks

Consider adding Conditionals

Examples

if [ conditional expression1 ]
then
    #statement1
    #statement2 
else
    if [ conditional expression2 ]
    then
        #statement3 
    fi
fi

#!/bin/bash
count=99
if [ $count -eq 100 ]
then
  echo "Count is 100"
elif [ $count -gt 100 ]
then
  echo "Count is greater than 100"
else
  echo "Count is less than 100"
fi

# OR example
if [[ "$repl_IO" != "Yes" -o "$repl_SQL" != "Yes" ]] ; then

Thank you for your work I appreciate been looking for a quick refresher on the key commands. And to all of those whose key commands were having issues. If a CMD'let is not working properly or to your specific requirements then altering the command individually is always an option and updating the profile with the custom cmdlets. Or you could begin to understand the light shinning behind the darkness and begin researching Darwin Series in MAC and why it was discontinued. Then maybe you can understand why things in our lives have stopped be so reliant on our personal control and we now have assistance wether we ask for it or not. ::Only after one opens their mind to the realm of possibilities;; then one can begin to open their mouth and say::: MOO!!!!!!!

Test

While it is true that Ctrl + D will exit the current shell when no process is running, it is useful to know that you can send EOF to a the running process with Ctrl + D as well.

For example:

• cat
• ...waiting for input
• Ctrl + D and the process exits normally

great site by the way!!
say -v [[slnc XXX]]

-v '?' shows all voices available
XXX pause duration

Consider adding chown

Examples

chown -f apache filename.txt

sudo chown -f -R user:group /dir

It just shows: [D[D[D[D[D when I press option and ->

Hi,

I don't know if I'm the right place but here is what I'm trying to do.

Goal: Open an app from any mac using a flash drive.

I'm trying to run an app (QT Wallet app) from my flashdrive, this app requires to have information from it's library folder.

The app itself does not give me the option to re route the library folder thats also on the flashdrive.

Is possible to use terminal? Or perhaps use alias in this case?

Thank you!

I accidentally typed ⌘Cmd + L in my Mac-Terminal and it seemed to delete the output of the previous command. I'm not sure how this shortcut is defined or where I can look it up. Does anybody have an idea?

really?

Examples

echo run; echo multiple; echo commands; echo from; echo one; echo line

if [ "a" == "a" ] ; then echo "true" ; fi

I have some .bashrc & .bash_prfile commands, but none that affect bindings if that's even possible. And my Terminal preferences aren't doing anything crazy. So why won't several of these commands work for me?

Any ideas?

windows cheatsheet?

I think this command is essential for finding new terminal commands. It really opens the user up to new options. It's especially useful with either -h or man [command] to look around for something that can fulfill a specific task
