==CLI Commands==

* [https://linuxtldr.com/installing-fzf/ fzf] - allows you to perform interactive or dynamic searches via an interactive interface for effortless navigation and selection from matching options.
* [https://linuxtldr.com/read-command read] - take single line input from the keyboard or from the file descriptor and store it in a variable.
* ps ax - the /ax/ option causes ''all'' running processes to be listed, not just those in the current terminal session
* Arch Linux Update with <code>sudo pacman -Syu</code> - See [https://itsfoss.com/pacman-syu/ ''It's FOSS'' article] explanation.

==Tips & Apps==
===Keep SSH Alive===
: Linux kills running commands when SSH session ends
: [https://www.tecmint.com/keep-linux-commands-running-after-logout/ How to keep commands running after logout]

===CSV in Terminal===

: Working with CSV files in the terminal?
: You can make them readable by aligning columns neatly with column:
:: <code>$ cat inventory.csv | column -t -s</code>
: The -s, flag tells it to use commas as separators, and -t formats the output into a clean table.

===find last changed config===
: Use this command to see just the config files edited within the past day. The -mtime -1 part means "changed within the last day."
:: <code>find /etc -type f -mtime -1</code>

===grep===
: Use the grep command with the -R option for recursive search, combined with multiple --include options to specify file types. This lets you efficiently search for a pattern only in desired file extensions within a directory and its subdirectories.
:: <code>grep -R --include=*.js --include=*.ts --include=*.jsx --include=*.tsx "pattern" /path/to/dir</code>

===email alert of disk full===
: [https://linuxhandbook.com/server-disk-space-alert/ read this article from Linux Handbook] for how to set up alerts and send email from a Linux server.

===BentoPDF===
: [https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf BentoPDF] is a privacy-focused, open-source PDF editing toolkit that works entirely client-side without uploading files to any server. It can be self-hosted using static files or Docker, making it ideal for secure workflows and offline environments.

===Gradle Build Tool===
: [https://gradle.org/ Gradle] is an open source build system for Java, Android, and Kotlin developers. It is installed and run using this code once a github repo of a project that includes it is cloned, and you cd into the directory: <code>./gradlew app:run</code>

===CrossPaste===
: [https://github.com/CrossPaste/crosspaste-desktop CrossPaste] installed from cloned GitHub repo using Gradle. App is running, but without desktop display. It installed an older version of Gradle (8.13) which uses an older Java SDK than the one installed on my computer.
: So far it is unable to be installed on my Raspberry Pi 5 due to unsatisfied dependencies, and the Android app costs $2.00, which I'm unwilling to pay for an app with undemonstrated benefits. So I'll back-burner this one until it is more developed.

===SSH into VirtualBox Guest===
: [https://linuxiac.com/how-to-ssh-into-a-virtualbox-guest-vm/ How to SSH into a VirtualBox Guest virtual machine]

===Using Cron & Crontab===
: [https://linuxiac.com/how-to-use-cron-and-crontab-on-linux/ How to use cron and crontab on Linux]

===Reset Lost Root Password===
: [https://linuxiac.com/how-to-reset-root-password-in-linux/ How to Reset Root Password in Linux]

===System Install Date===
: [https://linuxiac.com/how-to-find-linux-os-installation-date/ How to Find Linux OS Installation Date]

===Check Linux System Bios===
: [https://linuxiac.com/how-to-check-bios-version-on-linux/ How to Check Bios Version on Linux]

===Home Lab Troubleshooting===
: [https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2025/11/15-troubleshooting-commands-every-linux-home-lab-admin-should-know/ 15 Troubleshooting Commands]

===Clean $PATH Display===
: If you have trouble reading the directories in the $PATH variable, use the tr command to translate colon (":") characters to newline characters ("n") so they can be displayed in lines:
:: <code>$ echo $PATH | tr ":" "\n"</code>
: from [https://substack.com/@thatstraw? TRÄW] on Substack

===Docker Volumes===

: To create a Docker volume:
:: <code>docker volume create [name of volume]</code>
: To use a volume, to make data persistent, use these commands:
:: <code>docker run -it --rm --mount source=[volume name],destination=[directory] [image name]</code>

==Manjaro Quirks==

===Package Management===
: Manjaro, being an Arch-derived distro, doesn't use apt, but rather pacman. However, other cross-platform managers like npm or flatpak or snap also work.
