Do you sometimes forget the actual location of directories & have to juggle through cd & ls to know the right path? In this short post, we discuss how to make a “smart” alternative to cd command on Linux (& probably MacOS 🙄).

You may arrive in a situation where you may want to “extract” out text between two words. For example to view the latest changelog (where x.x.x is the latest version) in a CHANGELOG.md file.

Below are a bunch of easy one-liner commands that gives information about various aspects of your Linux machine.

If you are a developer then fixing bugs takes time because you have to shift from terminal to your fav browser & then type your query. (and then in between you open reddit/twitter 😅 for some reason, which wanders your attention).

Line discipline handles things like backspace and also generates various signals for special characters like Ctrl + C/Z etc.

So if you work with Python all day, you already know about Virtual Environments. The only problem with me 😅 is that I end up creating a lot of them when using and making my side-projects. We know that there is a activate script that can be used for this purpose.

By default, go run runs the compiled binary directly. The binaries are stored in a temp work folder, to see where they are stored use the -work flag.

Use os.Getenv() and os.Setenv() for reading and setting environment variables.
