Discussion on: Useful Linux Commands

[Jeremy Friesen]

Great stuff.

If I may add a few more to your great list:

• tree :: list contents of directories in a tree-like format.

Example of tree with limiting to 2 levels

❯ tree -L 2

Thanks, Jeremy. Yes, tree is very helpful.

Btw, How did you add that code snippet with a dropdown arrow, to be expanded? Is that only for the comments, or can I do that in a post? Thanks!

DEV supports a details liquid tag;

{% details My verbose summary %}
lots of text here
{% enddetails %}

Whoa, that's super useful. Thanks for sharing!
