Summary
In this chapter, we dived into a number of more advanced concepts relating to shell commands, such as redirection, Bash history, command aliases, some command-line tricks, and more. Working with the shell is definitely something you’ll continue to improve upon, so don’t be worried if you have any trouble committing all of this knowledge to memory. After over 20 years of working with Linux, I’m still learning new things myself. The main takeaway in this chapter is to serve as a starting point to broaden your command-line techniques and also serve as the basis for future exploration into the subject.
In the next chapter, we’ll take a look at managing processes, which will include job management, taming misbehaving processes, and more. See you there!
