    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.

    Worth mentioning Ctrl-R as well for hotkeys. That fzf man alias is really cool

    Goes from newbie to advanced real quick! I use the terminal a lot as a software engineer, but this taught me a couple things and I feel like I understand some things better.

    Awesome and comprehensive video showing off the true capabilities of a good shell user. I realize literally everything people see, is a text doc

    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
  • @sevos
    Great fzf examples, thank you so much!
