Command line tools

Command line tools refer to software programs that can be used via a command line interface (CLI), rather than through a graphical user interface (GUI). These tools allow users to perform tasks by typing text commands into a terminal or console window. Command line tools are prevalent in various operating systems, including Linux, macOS, and Windows, and they are essential for system administration, software development, and data processing.

These tools provide powerful functionality that can often be combined or scripted to automate complex workflows. Examples of command line tools include file manipulation programs like cp and mv, text editors like vim and nano, and networking tools like ping and ssh. They are appreciated for their speed, flexibility, and the control they provide to the user for managing the system and handling files.

Hi! I'm Alex, creator of GitByBit.

And this is Gitopedia—a reference that summarizes knowledge in my Git course.

Gitopedia is designed to be a personal knowledge base. When you progress through the main Git course in VS Code, you unlock all of these topics, one by one, bit by bit. This gives you time to digest the information and gradually build the mental model of Git. Here's an example of how it works:

Learning directly in VS Code lets you practice Git exactly as you would in real life, doing real jobs, writing real code. In addition, the course has access to your actual terminal, so it can point out mistakes, suggest workarounds, etc.

The course is FREE, there are no Ads or other bullshit. There are optional premium add-ons you can purchase, mainly to support my work (regrettably, I have to eat every day), but that's totally up to you.
