cozyCLI – practice linux commands in the browser

hey devs πŸ‘‹

the last weeks I have been building cozyCLI.com, a small sideproject to practice linux commands interactively.

I always wanted a place where I can just type and get instant feedback without spinning up a VM or remembering random tasks. so I built one.


what is in there (v0.2)

  • 150 curated linux core tasks -> the important stuff you actually use on any distro
  • interactive trainer -> type the command, get feedback right away
  • summary with stats -> accuracy, streaks, hints, attempts, success rate
  • cheatsheet -> quick lookup with categories + live filter search
  • open repo -> all tasks live in one JSON, contributions welcome (GitHub)

I rewrote the old catalog (was only 50 tasks, kind of random). now it is focused and way more useful.

try it out


what comes next

I want to add different training modes. For example 10 or 25 question mode. After finishing you get a summary and stats. then you can repeat the same set to compare or reshuffle for fresh tasks


final words

I am building this as a cozy project for myself but maybe it is useful for others learning or refreshing linux commands.

If you try it out let me know what you think. Ideas for new tasks are always welcome ✌️

I also wrote a bit more about this update on my personal blog -> codephilip.com/cozycli-v02
