Terminal Keys and Commands Reference

There have been many posts on Terminal on macOS recently. To catch up, here is a list of all the posts, so far:

• Terminal–Finder Interaction
• The macOS open Command
• On Bash History Substitution
• Terminal and the Clipboard
• Terminal: The ‘[’ Marks the Spot
• Navigating the Terminal Prompt
• On Viewing man Pages

And here are a few older posts that also fit well in this topic:

• Make tab-completion in bash case-insensitive
• Randomize Window Backgrounds in Terminal
• On hidden Files, especially Library
• Mount a dmg off a web server
• Fun with find and git

I have a few more ideas and will continue this series as long as I can think of topics. If you have suggestions, please let me know on Twitter, the MacAdmins Slack or in the comments!

And for reading through all of this you get a reward! Download a two-page PDF with all the most important Terminal Keys and Commands! Print it and put them up next to your screen!

You can also download another two-page PDF reference for my book ‘Property Lists, Preferences and Profiles for Apple Administrators’.
