    Most usefull thing i learned this year was that two exclamation marks repeat the last console entry. You know when you typed a long one liner, hit enter...no permission. Forgot to add sudo. Now instead of typing again..just "sudo !!". Come in more handy then one might think

    • @jpcampbell
      @jpcampbell Рік тому +6

      Yeah, I’ve been using that since the 90s and still use it daily!! If you like that, use !$ for running a command against the last argument of the last command. You’ll use it even more than !!

    • @Person1873
      @Person1873 Рік тому

      You can also do ! Before a command you've run previously if you need to do the same again.
      Handy if you're prototyping your .bashrc or something

    • @Person1873
      @Person1873 Рік тому

      Eg if you ran
      $source ~/.bashrc
      You can later run
      $!source

      So before you'd type the whole thing again instead of using up arrow?

    • @Sizzlik
      @Sizzlik 9 місяців тому +1

      @@sevenelven the up arrow just goes up one step in history, you would need to move the cursor to the start of the line and enter sudo if you only forgot to enter it before. Instead you can type sudo !! and the !! gets replaced with whats 1 step up in history. There are many uses for it but i mostly use it for when i forget to put sudo in front of the last command. Or !$ to just use the argument of the last comand.

    If you are often using terminal through ssh I would also consider here "screen". This tool allows you to have multiple "virtual" screens of terminal open simultaneously, and even open a terminal session, close whole ssh connection and then continue this session after re-connecting with ssh, great tool

    This was a good list.
    I would like to say that when you get good with it, neovim is way more viable for large projects than you give it credit for. There is a steep learning curve to get there though. When you get there though you will be so much faster and more efficient than any other editor like vscode.
    Some other tools you might like
    Zoxide - fuzzy find over commonly visited directories.
    Zellij - terminal multiplexing like tmux but way better, and very user friendly.
    Ripgrep - grep on steroids! 😮

    Personally I'm still a fan of Webmin. Sure some modules aren't worth using, but majority of the basic modules like it's file browser, and status dashboard are definitely worth it's use/installation, while the latest versions feature a revised in-browser terminal emulator that's pretty solid so that when you factor in all the features mentioned, I tend to use these when editing and working with semi-production scripts in Linux, especially on headless systems.

    As for fzf - it searches gorgeously, but not only. It gives back(!) found value. That is why it is possible to use fzf in such a way:
    vim $(fzf)
    mpv $(fzf)
    and even have preview of files on fly while searching with fzf. Here's one from my aliases is .zshrc.
    pf='fzf --preview='\''bat --color=always --style=plain {}'\'' --bind k:preview-up,j:preview-down'
    (use vim-keys to scroll preview part, if it is longer, than one page)

    Nice? Linux, definitely Linux !
    But when you cannot avoid working under windows, there are few solutions. My favorite now is git, because it brings bash and some of the most common and useful CLI commands (find, grep, awk, sed, ...).
    Many years ago, I used Cygwin. It's a pain in the a**, it will steal one or two days of your life for installation and configuration. But it so complete you even get an X server too. All other X server running under windows I found were commercial products.
    MinGW is in between, or not ? I don't know it very well.
    By the way, am I the only one to feel very uncomfortable with the idea of Micro$oft providing a Linux subsystem, including it's own modifications ?

    I don't understand why Linux is useful for the average user. Couple of points:
    It asks for the password everyone once in a while, maybe 100 times a day, wasting your time. If you're not lucky, linux can't detect even right password
    I think this feature archaic and a burden for the average user
    It isn't compatible with many software programs and drivers
    I'm developing in Linux for embedded, but for my daily use, I'm happy with Windows
    Can you explain why would I use Linux?

      This is not the best place to ask the questions to which the answers you are seeking. I can tell you this, Linux has its power in its open-source democratic software evolution.
      Which means you are not bound to the specifics of what you're offered when you first install a proprietary operating system, like Windows or MacOS. It is upto you, as a user to decide how much tinkering you do, you can always let the defaults unchanged if you're comfortable. Also Windows is bloated with software that you don't need along with telemetry that tracks your every bit of movement or action that you do on your computer, and that data is sent to remote servers. Linux on other hand is transparent and provides ways to change your privacy settings. Linux is fast.;⁠)
