Linux Commands

Linux Commands helps you learn the command line quickly and easily. It includes a library of over 200 commonly used Linux commands, organised into 10+ categories, and each command comes with its own detailed description so you understand how it works before you use it.

Get comfortable with the terminal

The Linux terminal can look daunting at first, but a small set of Linux commands covers most of what you need day to day. This app breaks Linux commands into clear categories so you can learn them in a sensible order: moving around the file system, working with files, checking what is running and managing your system.

A Linux command reference on your phone

Forgot how to search inside files or change permissions? Open the app, go to the right category and find the Linux commands you need in seconds. Having a Linux command reference in your pocket saves you from searching the web every time you need a reminder, and the detailed descriptions explain what each command actually does.

Linux commands you will learn

- Navigating directories and the file system

- Creating, copying, moving and deleting files

- Viewing and searching file contents

- File permissions and ownership

- Processes and system information

- Networking and package management basics

Who this app is for

- Engineering and computer science students learning Linux for the first time

- Developers and system administrators who want a quick reference

- Anyone moving from a graphical desktop to the Linux terminal

- Learners preparing for lab exams or interviews where Linux commands come up

How to use it

Start with the basic categories and work through the Linux commands at your own pace. Try each one in a terminal as you read about it. When you need one of the Linux commands you have not used for a while, come back and look it up. Regular practice turns shell commands into habits.
