A list of topics useful for understanding terminal life in my opinion (loosely ordered):

- Relations between TTY, terminal emulators and shells.
- Popular terminal emulators: `xterm`, `urxvt`, `kitty`, `foot`, etc.
- Popular shells: `bash`, `zsh`, `fish`, `mosh`, etc.
- (Optional) POSIX standard.
- (Optional) Difference between the shell and the language. Sh-scripts.
- Handy [readline shortcuts](https://readline.kablamo.org/emacs.html) for default (Emacs) editing mode: `ctrl-w`, `ctrl-a`, `alt-b`, `ctrl-p`, etc.
- (Optional) readline Vi-mode.
- (Optional) WTF is readline and where it can be found =)
- Basic history interaction: `Ctrl-r`, `Ctrl-t`, `history | less`.
- Advanced [Bash history interaction](https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/bash/manual/bash.html#History-Interaction): `sudo !!` and `rm !$`.
- Background and foreground tasks with `Ctrl-z` and `fg`.
- Standart toolchain: `cat`, `less`, `grep`, etc.
- Pipes and friends: `|`, `>`, `>>`, `2>`.
- Exit codes.
- Grouping: `command1 && command2`, `command1 || command2`, `command1; command2`.
- Stdin, stdout, stderr.
- Arguments for commands: `ls` vs `ls -lah`.
- Conventions about arguments: `-v` vs `--version`.
- (Global) variables.
- Aliases.
- `.bashrc` and friends (like `.zshrc`).
- Info about files and commands: `which less`, `type less`, `stat .bashrc`, `file .bashrc`, etc.
- Prompt styling: `echo $PS1`.
- [Terminals Are Weird](https://catern.com/posts/terminal_quirks.html)
- Terminal Miltiplexers: `tmux`, `screen`, etc.
- (Optional) [Are Terminal Multiplexers Overrated?](https://sebastiancarlos.com/are-terminal-multiplexers-a-fad-8678c01baedf)

Ja bih dodao ovde dve stvari koje često koristim, a koje su pogodne za početnike:

- `cd` bez argumenata vraća u home direktorijum
- pre pokretanja `rm` sa džokerima, pokrenuti `ls` sa istim džokerom da bi se videlo šta će sve biti obrisano: npr. prvo `ls *.pdf` pa `rm *.pdf`.

Win+R \> Run \> `cmd /k "%1"`

ovaj `"%1"` znaci da mozete upisivat paths s razmakom bez navodnika , recimo `cd C:\Program Files\`

inač zalinux distro `cURL` & `wget` su top komande…

`gsudo` for windows - ono sta je `sudo` za linux, `gsudo` je za win… mocna komanda i opasna, moze se iskoristit protiv vas… hh

moramo i spomenit microsoft - `vscode`(standalone netriba mu vstudio)… **vscode** je bas upakira sve živo, sve terminale + mnogo extenzija… top za win10,11 64bit usere je must have…

@disu1950 windows je ovde taboo tema, kao i google prosli put, a ovaj post je o linux terminalu 😆

U slucaju da neko nema izbora, pa ima samo win, nabolje je koristiti package managere [scoop](https://scoop.sh/) i [chocolatey](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages) na kojima se mogu naci mnogi paketi kao i na linuxima. [WSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux) je jos jedna od opcija.  
Za terminal preporucujem [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty) koga ima na oba package managera. Time bi se dobio linux like experiance, ali jednostavnije je samo uskociti odma u linux, ako vec imate izbora.

Back to topic:  
Korisna stv koju sam skoro provalio, koristim [fishshell](https://fishshell.com/) koji ima intelisense (kao autocomplete) za komande (i dosta drugih featura pored toga), ali ga ne popuni uvek klikom na `Tab`, ako postoji vise opcija izlista ih i onda biras, ali na `Ctrl+f` umesto `Tab` uradi bas to i time preskoci taj korak biranja. Pretpostavljam da ima ista fora i na [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/).

Za vim like terminal sledeca komanda:

```auto
set -o vi 

```

Dodati u `.bashrc` da radi za svaku sesiju.

EDIT:  
Dodao sam ta pored Ctrl+f radi i Ctrl+space, kao sto je u IDE ☺

```sh
function fish_user_key_bindings
    bind -M insert -k nul accept-autosuggestion
end

```

@coja

jasno mi je, kužim koja je Š.  
budem pripazija… np…  
ty for inf

* * *

inace evo sum basics da se nade:

 ![linux-1c9y0](https://forum.dmz.rs/uploads/default/original/2X/c/ca96fc385ec557b8261b52b75117ee6b35a05e51.png)

* * *

**Pro tip** : kad ste u shellu i pisete svoj logins za nesto .history sprema vidljiv pass, zato mozete pisat ovako:

`$ raznak pa onda "vaspass"`

inace kad kucate prvo razmak onda se to ne sprema u .history…  
ja .history brisem non stop, jel netko vam moze zloupotrijebit ovaj file…

ovo ima veze sa [HISTCONTROL](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/histcontrol-command-in-linux-with-examples/) variablom, ali na Ubuntu sistemima mislim da je po defaultu to sto si rekao - da space pa komanda ne pise u .history

> $man bash  
> /histcontrol

FOR MY DEAR BELOVED **SU/SUDO** in **SUDOERS**

# WHAT IS SUDO?

`sudo` – izvršava naredbu kao drugi korisnik.

Naredba sudo omogućuje vam pokretanje programa s sigurnosnim privilegijama drugog korisnika (prema zadanim postavkama, kao superkorisnik). Traži od vas vašu osobnu lozinku i potvrđuje vaš zahtjev za izvršavanje naredbe provjerom datoteke pod nazivom **sudoers** koju konfigurira administrator sustava.

Pomoću datoteke **sudoers** , administrator sustava može dati određenim korisnicima ili grupama pristup nekim ili svim naredbama bez da ti korisnici moraju znati **root** lozinku.

Ako vaše korisničko ime nije na popisu **sudoers** , naredba **sudo** vam je beskorisna.

Pokrenite **sudo -V** da biste dobili informacije o verziji sudu.

❗ Ono što je za Unix **sudo** za Windows je **gsudo**
