cool linux commands
Development on linux rocks.
At first it felt strange and limited- Like the guis (graphical user interface(s)) were missing.
Most of coding and development happens on the terminal (the command line).
There are several command line tools that are little added candy bonuses to working.
vim
The text editor.
This is what you use to write and edit code.
cvs
This is probably my fave, after vim.
It keeps track of projects.
At first it will seem like added stress, more work to do.
It’s a creepy thing before you get used to it.
I couldn’t develop without cvs anymore. I would cry.
tree
List a hierarchy tree of files, instead of firing up a file browser, you can see your way around.
convert and mogrify
Make a million thumbnails without touching gimp or photoshop. Perfect and without human intervention.
