Mastering Bash and Terminal

Re:Mastering Bash and Terminal by lisivka on Saturday January 14, 2017 @04:37PM (#13400705)

I recommend to install mc (Midnigth Commander) and bash-completion (if bash is your shell of choice) as first terminal tools.

mc allows to explore system efficiently while not standing in my way, because I can always press ctrl-O and get my shell back.

bash-completion saves time on typing of commands.

Other tools I install often are htop (better ps) and strace.

all of these are my go-to tools. I also edit inputrc to make pgup and pgdn history search - something I picked up from SuSE version 15 years ago, and stuck.
