At college, I was forced to learn about shell scripting, but after using Linux for more than half a year, I am enjoying every bit of it. I am still learning about shell scripting.

Awesome and comprehensive video showing off the true capabilities of a good shell user. I realize literally everything people see, is a text doc
Low sub channel + quality content like this = instant subscribe
One of the finest videos ever made for the shell enthusiast, kudos to u man, eagarly awaiting for more !!!!!
I never thought the shell could be relaxing but you have done it. Good work.
Glad this showed up in my feed. Perfect for my needs at work. Thank you for the video.
Perfect content, helpful and calm, thanks. Seeing how someone uses tools is so helpful as I learn to use them.
The xargs command section was really good! Something as simple as aliasing 'logs' to open a fzf with all your docker containers and choose one to check the logs for is just so useful
FZF is the tool I didn't know I needed.

Great fzf examples, thank you so much!
The fzf based commands are incredible. I use fzf every day but never thought of that. Gonna start making some alias tomorrow! Thanks!
Have been looking for this exact type of vid now for sometime now. Thank you it was done very well. The final wrap up at the end was perfect.
really useful video. I am using bash for a few years now, and only recently i am starting to realize how powerful the pipe command is
After watching this, it feels like you can do anything with the shell. Then you find yourself needing something like "pipe into a text file, but prepend instead of append", and it turns out you need to use four commands, invoke a function, write a formal proposal, and make a pilgrimage to Dennis Ritchie's final resting place on a moonless night and chant incantations from dusk to dawn to do it.

Haha yeah that is the sad truth. When you're within the bounds of what the shell and coreutils are good at everything is nice and simple. But once you step outside of that, it quickly feels impossibly complex.

I don't understand how this is difficult TBH.
The Ctrl-X Ctrl-E to edit command in $EDITOR is actually very very useful! Thanks for telling us that!
fzf is really cool, gonna use it way more often from now on The only thing that I wish you'd also mention is how you can manipulate history too. Let's say you've done cat on some file with long path, and now you want to copy it. Instead of cp . you can do cp !!:1 . which will use first argument from latest command in history as argument. Also, cd (just cd, with no arguments) will send you to home directory and cd - will send you to previous directory.
Very useful video 🎉 For some reason I didn't know about `Ctrl+X` + `Ctrl+E` to edit a multi-line cmd -- that is so cool and definitely needed :D
Nice, really liked the concise explanations for the basic commands
Explained more and better in 12 minutes than our teachers in a whole semester.
Thank you so much for bringing fzf to my attention! Just the type of tool I've always wanted but never knew existed.
Voice + command techniques + explanations are superb.❤
Bat instead of less works amazing too (great colour output)

This is such a high quality video! It starts off great with some introductory concepts, but then accelerates at a great pace and shows how to put things together. Really was great for someone like myself who is comfortable in the shell but looking to level up. C-x C-e was literally a paradigm shift for me, and has changed how I interact with the terminal. Thanks for the awesome video, looking forward to more great content!
When you started the video, it seemed like I am watching some noob tutorial, but in the last I became noob, 😂 you earned a subscriber, the knowledge you shared here is awesome, I will surely watch your bash scripting videos and other interesting linux related videos
Most useful $SHELL video EVER! I learned so much.
Awesome video. Loved it. One of my favourite is 'seq'. Prints out a sequence of numbers. Handy and fast. Also one dirty trick to go to your home directory is only typing 'cd' and hitting enter. No need add ~.
Great video! I already know quite a bit about the CLI, but the fzf tool is super cool!! Will definitely use thanks a ton!
Impressed that you introduced me to a couple of commands I was not aware of and I pride myself in writing one liners that wrap 3 lines. Specifically `compgen` and `fd`. The latter of course written by the same fellow who's created `bat` which is wonderful replacement for `cat`. Another interesting way to use `xargs` is by inserting the output in a specific location in a command. e.g. $ aws ecs list-clusters | rg blah | cut -d / -f 2 | tr -d '",' | xargs -n1 -I{} aws ecs describe-services --services {} --cluster {} One I use fairly often while writing a long command where I need to switch to looking something else up is prepending the command with a `#` and hitting return, it parks the command as a comment which you can go back to editing but doesn't execute anything when initially entered. Try this in a chromium based browser with a ton of tabs open... `cmd + shift + a`... start typing the title of what you are looking for ;)

I like the calming background music. Kept me from uncontrollably breaking down and taking pepto again
Wow, I thought I knew stuff in the terminal until watching this video xD. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, I'll make sure to implement this tips in my workflow
if you think awk is confusing, you just haven't taken the time to learn it. It is an incredibly simple language that looks a lot like javascript. Literally just like like 15 minutes to read the documentation for gawk (in a browser, its just easier) and you will never be confused again

To be fair, it's not that awk is that confusing. It's more like when you're initially learning all this stuff as shell utilities and then BAM out comes a fucking scripting language. One of these things is not like the other.

This is great, I’ve been using unix shell scripting a while but not wholeheartedly so haven’t really learnt it properly because i have extensive knowledge of powershell, even to the extent that install powershell on Mac and use it. But I realise that all the funky and fancy stuff in ps, I can do in way less code and probably more so just using the unix approach. Fzf is just fantastic and so is this video, you have given me inspiration to go head first into unix shell scripting so thanks 💪
You...., wizard...., has a new worshipper. Me is, from now on, following your magic.
this is absolutely a gem :) thank you for the video and learning us nice stuff, you just got a new subscriber
So useful. Awesome video thank you
Damn, I thought the video might be too basic for me but I have never seen fzf being used like that. Love it.
I know I've used tail before when I needed to iter over a very large dir with an unknown amount of empty folders which would break another workflow. Amazing how fast it ran, just recursing through each level and nuking every empty dir it came across
That fzf is amazing.
Great format, pleasing voice
Holy crap. I learned some cool new tricks. Thank you. I was really skeptical at first.
This one is the best! To the point and powerfull. Thanks so much!

Great video ! Btw in your node_module cleanup command you could put 2 inside the bracket of your cat command to get only the second part of the entry and not trying to cat the size of the folder like such: fd 'node_modules' -HIt d | xargs du -sh | sort -hr | fzf -m --header "Select which ones to delete" --preview 'cat $(dirname {2})/package.json' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -r rm -rf
thank you so much! I've drastically changed my config.fish because of this video
Man this video is relaxing
Thanks for posting this!
Great video, hope you make more!
you opened my eyes. ty~
Been working in cli server for 2, years and I knew every command. I'd like to add 'history | grep "whatever"' for when you'd reuse some complex commands.
My line editing became a lot less painful once I figured out I could use the emacs bindings on it. Also, I didn’t know about c-x,c-e which in retrospect makes a lot of sense. Thanks for teaching me something
Your channel is beautiful Bro. It’s just beautiful.

Nice video. I've been using Linux for 30 years and learned some new commands, such as fzf. One thing I would add is the tac command. It's cat but in reverse, which is sometimes handy

Yeah, the biggest tip is to not try to remember everything. You naturally memorize things you use frequently, and for everything else, that's what documentation is for. On that note, / and ? are very important keybinds for many text viewers, as they let you search forwards and backwards. Very useful for finding relevant parts of manuals.
Have been using linux for a few things for like 5 years, and just only now realized man stands for manual
Great video! Thanks!
I don't usually comment but this deserves it! Amazing video 🙌

This is a very good video. good work.
The dash can sometimes be used to use the previous value/location. "cd -" lets you go back to where you were. Nice if you cd into some root folder and want to go to where you were. Same goes for "git checkout -"; if you are in your branch, checkout to master to git pull, but want to return to the branch you were just in.
HOLY HELL THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING

Nice survey. I have to make a plug for AWK. Anyone who has to process any type of structured/semi-structured data files would be well advised to learn AWK. A few hours spent reading _Effective AWK Programming_ will allow easy processing of almost any data task required.
Haven't used bash in ages. A lot of the keyboard shortcuts are shared with emacs, since they're both part of the gnu project.
thank you what a great video
