4:30 is true, i succesfully secluded myself from every human contact, order sollely by uber and get my stuff when the delivery drive is gone. I used my Aspergers to memorize all the man pages that i use.

What is crazy is I looked for this video from you yesterday and today here it is! The Universe is amazing! Well watched it and kinda bummed you didn’t go over the formats, bold, italics,ellipse, etc. What’s optional over mandatory.

I use the man pages as well as tldr to get examples quite handy. tldr cd if you use tdlr run tldr -u to update it.

Great job explaining man command, a fondamental one for everyone using linux. Just sad because of what you did at 13:39 Great to know all the section, but as you said remembering them by heart is something not so easy or useful, specially for ones approaching linux for the first time. It's good to know that the man command has a man page too! I hope you'd show it instead of a bare list. For those who doesn't know, typing "man man" will show you all kind of info about the man utility and one of the first things listed is indeed the man sections! Also, some section has it's own man pages (example: for section 7 you could type man 7 man or man man.7 ) As far as I know, only section 1 and 7 has specific man pages, but I may miss some man pages in my installation (as now ubuntu 22.04), I don't know.

I've been doing Linux for a bit now and had no idea you could search within the man pages. Super handy!!! Also did not know about the builtins. The only thing I would suggest for the course was to actually go to the CD command and show that it has the same information just in a giant document.

This video is great; it keeps things simple for the newbie by not getting caught up in details like the “less”pager, which man uses to display info while also being a command on its own, or that builtins are part of the shell, which are different because blah, blah… However, it would be even more helpful if he talked about man page conventions, i.e. Bold text == type exactly as shown Italic or underlined text == replace with appropriate argument argument… == the argument is repeatable -a | -b == options can’t be used together [-abc] == arguments within [ ] are optional

Essential for any Linux-user, learn it and love it.

Another informative and good video Jay!

ممنون واقعا نیاز بود همچون ویدیویی، فقط یک ویدیو جدا در مورد درایور اوپن سورس انویدیا بدین عالیه. جدای از بازی این مبحث کانفیگ درایور مهمه

I knew that stuff xD I was hoping for a video that explains how to read man pages cause most of them are impossible to use when it comes to discover how to use a command. I guess chat gpt remains the best at this xD

One thing worth pointing out is that many basic unix tools including man support basic vi hotkeys. Combined with the fact that vi is everywhere and nano is not (for example in many docker/k8s images), makes the basics of vi a core *nix skill.

Gotta *man* up 💪😎😁

you could use, e.g to view "sections" before hand [~]$ man -f man man (7) - macros to format man pages man (1) - an interface to the system reference manuals which is equivalent to $ whatis man man (7) - macros to format man pages man (1) - an interface to the system reference manuals $ whatis woman woman: nothing appropriate.

Can you please remind me of the video where you provided us with the "help" command, and you gave us a website URL that can be used instead of the built-in help command. Thank you very much in advance.

I like how u explain things ❤

Could you please create a video about bubblewrap? That is something I am working to master, and I think Linux users would benefit as well.

man man will show a list of sections Still waiting on the video for inodes.

hi, how did you made green higtlight outside of terminal?

I'm devastated Akamai purchased Linode. I'll be moving to DigitalOcean 😢

@ALL Yes, like Jay mentioned. Please hit the like button for his vid/s that you watch. I am certain we all like Jay's content and even him in his personality. If you are willing please share his links on your social media for others to maybe watch his content that will benefit them as it does us. And even go out of your way to mention this channel to others even to spread the knowledge of using Linux over others OS/s

So basically "man" pages searching & going to top & bottom of the Page Hotkeys are similar to "vim"🤔🤔

$ type cd cd is a shell builtin

Hey guys! For "man 5 passwd" command, I get "No manual entry for passwd in section 5". What's wrong? Btw I'm on AlmaLinux9.

made sense...hi algorythm,

My favorite linux command: "shutdown"
