Linux Shell & Scripting
Linux shell and scripting commands — bash, echo, export, alias, and more. Work with the shell environment and scripts. This category documents 30 Linux shell & scripting entries, and each page gives you the full syntax, the most useful options, a practical example you can paste into a terminal, and a difficulty rating. The entries are: echo, printf, export, source, alias, unalias, history, xargs, eval, exec, test, shopt, set, env, pushd, popd, dirs, bind, compgen, declare, local, readonly, unset, type, command, builtin, enable, fc, tmux, make. Not sure where to start? echo and printf are the most commonly used commands in this category. The shell & scripting category is one of 15 categories in the Linux Reference, which covers 304+ commands and concepts in total. You can also search across every category from the search page, scan the cheat sheet, discover something new on the random command page, or read long-form tutorials on the blog.
