I kept running into the same problem while working in Linux and dev environments.
The small intricacies between zsh and bash hit me at the worst time.... every time. When in need of a Bash command, I’d end up doing the same cycle:
Open Google
Search “how to…”
Find slightly different answers
Test, break something, repeat...
It wasn’t hard. . . it was just slow and monotonous.
So, I began collecting the commands I actually used in real projects and organizing them into a personal cheat-sheet.
Over time, it turned into a small curated collection of Bash snippets, Linux commands, and terminal tricks that I now use almost daily.
Things like:
- faster file searching
- process monitoring tricks
- Git shortcuts
- terminal productivity hacks
- small one-liners that replace entire workflows
What I realized is that if something saves you 10 seconds but you use it 50 times a day, it adds up fast. I've been able to go from using 4-5 commands for the same bash one-liner that I just couldn't always recall.
I decided to clean it up and turn it into something public instead of just a local note file.
If you’re into Bash, Linux, or just want to speed up your terminal workflow, I’ve been putting everything here:

It’s still growing, and I’m actively adding new snippets as I find better ways of doing things.
I realize this is super beginner level stuff but if you’ve got any underrated commands you think should be included, I’m always open to suggestions.
