Can anybody recommend a good method of memorizing the long list of commands (ls -l, mkdir, rm, etc.) used in a Linux terminal?
They are shortened commands mostly, finding out what the long version was helps remembering. ls = list files mkdir = make directory rm = remove file Use the commands, this helps in learning them. When I started with computers, I believe it was memorizing 5 commands that was enough for the first year. The rest I looked up somewhere when needed. Command Code: man -k is usefui.
Create a long document and have a look while you're working (especially if you have 2 screens). It'll take some time but you'll start memorizing eventually.
