What's this?

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.

If you have a new feature suggestion or find a bug, please get in touch via http://commandlinefu.uservoice.com/

Follow the Tweets.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.
