Comment on Most Important Linux Commands Cheatsheet

Comments

As a start to using shell I recommend learning (roughly in order):

man

grep

sed

find

piping and redirect

xargs

looping

Knowing the basics of those unlocks a lot of the power of the shell. You can you them to brute force your way through most problems as you learn more.

Seconded - especially the section on xargs & looping.
