This repository is just that: an ever-growing collection of examples for the most common UNIX / Linux / OSX / SunOS commands.
Just edit some page from pages/ folder and submit a pull request.
Best practices:
- Focus on the 5-6 most common usages.
- When in doubt, keep new command-line users in mind.
- Introduce examples gradually, from the simplest to more complex.
- Don’t explain general UNIX concepts.
- Have a look at a few existing pages.
