commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
If you have a new feature suggestion or find a bug, please get in touch via http://commandlinefu.uservoice.com/
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
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.

git gc should be run on all git repositories every 100 commits. This will help do do so if you have many git repositories ;-)
This command will install phpmyadmin, set apache2 server and restart apache2. After running this command you can open phpmyadmin on http://yoursite.com/phpmyadmin
I have found that base64 encoded webshells and the like contain lots of data but hardly any newlines due to the formatting of their payloads. Checking the "width" will not catch everything, but then again, this is a fuzzy problem that relies on broad generalizations and heuristics that are never going to be perfect.
What I have done is set an arbitrary threshold (200 for example) and compare the values that are produced by this script, only displaying those above the threshold. One webshell I tested this on scored 5000+ so I know it works for at least one piece of malware.
Put it in your ~/.bashrc
usage:
google word1 word2 word3...
google '"this search gets quoted"'
I found this command on a different site and thought you guy might enjoy it. Just change "YOURSEARCH" to what ever you want to search. Example, "Linux Commands"
This is longer than others on here. The reason for this is I have combined two different matrix commands so it would work on all computers. I logged onto my server through a computer and it worked fine. I logged into my server through a mac and it looked $4!t so I have made one that works through both.
I use these command to validate twitter accounts, we can use a "for a in $(cat list.txt)" to validate a complete list of twitter accounts.
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down periods of work into 25-minute intervals called 'Pomodori' (from the Italian word for 'tomatoes') separated by short breaks.
You need to prepare a short .wav file (the "ring.wav" in the sample command line). This command will trigger aplay to play ring.wav 25 minutes from now on, which can be used as a poor man's pomodoro timer.
This command is more robust because it handles spaces, newlines and control characters in filenames. It uses printf, not ls, to determine file size.
bash only - no grep, sed, awk, whatever - zero overhead
alternatively using ifconfig instead of "ip addr ..."
A=$(ifconfig eth0); A=${A##*inet addr:}; echo ${A%% *}
or
which <command> > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo Error!
For example, I write
which colordiff > /dev/null 2>&1 && alias diff=colordiff
in my `~/.bashrc`.
echo "ls" > script.bash;
This is my script, a simple 'ls'.
gpg -c script.bash;
Here I encrypt and passord-protect my script. This creates file script.bash.gpg.
cat script.bash.gpg | gpg -d --no-mdc-warning | bash
Here I open file script.bash.gpg, decrypt it and execute it.
(Please see sample output for usage)
Use any script name (the read command gets it) and it will be encrypted with the extension .crypt, i.e.:
myscript --> myscript.crypt
You can execute myscript.crypt only if you know the password. If you die, your script dies with you.
If you modify the startup line, be careful with the offset calculation of the crypted block (the XX string).
Not difficult to make script editable (an offset-dd piped to a gpg -d piped to a vim - piped to a gpg -c directed to script.new ), but not enough space to do it on a one liner.
Sorry for the chmod on parentheses, I dont like "-" at the end.
Thanks flatcap for the subshell abbreviation to /dev/null
