Which Linux command or utility is simple, powerful, and surprisingly unknown to many people or used less often?
This could be a command or a piece of software or an application.
For example I’m surprised to find that many people are unaware of Caddy, a very simple web server that can make setting up a reverse proxy incredibly easy.
Another example is fzf. Many people overlook this, a fast command-line fuzzy finder. It’s versatile for searching files, directories, or even shell history with minimal effort.
Control+r == search through your bash history.
I used linux for ten years before finding out about that one.
Works much better with fzf, but even just default bash it’s useful.
i just cat grep .bash_history lol
but this does sound more convenient xD
Man not even using the history command
well if it makes you feel better you just made me
man historyxDSo did I until reading this post. Thanks!
