drwxr-xr-x 4096 today rtfm/ Read Tux's Fine Manual - a complete, mildly unhinged guide to the command line. whoami, ls, grep, chmod, ssh and 30-odd other commands, explained like the terminal owes you money. Start here if "sudo" still feels like a swear word.

drwxr-xr-x 4096 today os/ tuxsOS - An interactive, browser based Linux sandbox to safely practice terminaling. It includes a real virtual filesystem, any text editor you want as long as its nano, runnable scripting, multi-user access, and basic administration commands. Did I mention you can't break anything? drwxr-xr-x 4096 today gn/ Get Notes - a single bash script that syncs plaintext notes over GitHub. No daemon, no database, no app to update. Just curl, grep, and a config file with your name on it. drwxr-xr-x 4096 today new/ New and definitely improved versions of old terminal tools. Reading this after RTFM is like going from a manual car with wind down windows to an automatic car with electric windows and a sunroof - a breath of fresh air! drwxr-xr-x 4096 today script/ Learn how to make your computer do your work for you. You can either spend 15 minutes typing a bunch of commands or you could type one command and spend the rest of the time watching funny cat videos. The choice is yours but if you want to watch more funny cat videos you will need to learn about scripting. drwxr-xr-x 4096 today sh/ A bunch of bash scripts that range from brilliant to bonkers. Some are definitely useful and productive. Some might make you think - just because you *can* do that with a shell script, doesn't mean you *should*.
