I wrote a Vim Reference Guide (beginner to intermediate level) (programming.dev)
 

Hello!

I am pleased to announce a new version of my Vim Reference Guide ebook.

This is intended as a concise learning resource for beginner to intermediate level Vim users. It has more in common with cheatsheets than a typical text book. Topics like Regular Expressions and Macros have more detailed explanations and examples due to their complexity. I hope this guide would make it much easier for you to discover Vim features and learning resources.

Did you know that Vim has an easy mode, which is actually very hard to use for those already familiar with Vim? See my blog post for more details!

I would highly appreciate it if you'd let me know how you felt about this book. It could be anything from a simple thank you, pointing out a typo, mistakes in code snippets, which aspects of the book worked for you (or didn't!) and so on. Reader feedback is essential and especially so for self-published authors.

Happy learning :)

Basic examples for the Linux date command (learnbyexample.github.io)
 

I rarely ever use the date command, but when I need it I almost always struggle to get the right incantation. So, wrote a blog post for easy reference.

Do you use a cheatsheet as well?

I wrote a book on Linux command line tools and Shell Scripting (beginner to intermediate level) (programming.dev)
 

Hello!

I am pleased to announce a new version of my Linux Command Line Computing ebook.

This ebook aims to teach Linux command line tools and Shell Scripting for beginner to intermediate level users. The main focus is towards managing your files and performing text processing tasks. Plenty of examples are provided to make it easier to understand a particular tool and its various features. There are 200+ exercises to help you practice what you've learned and solutions are provided for reference. I hope this ebook would make it easier for you to discover CLI tools, features and learning resources.

Anyone know of a reverse command script or package to parse args for flags, expand them, and condense a man or help page(s) to just the relevant flags? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Inspired by explainshell, I wrote a script (https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help) to be used from the terminal itself. It is a bit buggy, but works well most of the time. For example:

$ ch grep -Ao
       grep - print lines that match patterns

       -A NUM, --after-context=NUM
              Print NUM lines of trailing context after matching lines.  Places a
              line containing a group separator (--) between contiguous groups of
              matches.  With the -o or --only-matching option, this has no effect
              and a warning is given.

       -o, --only-matching
              Print  only  the matched (non-empty) parts of a matching line, with
              each such part on a separate output line.
