Bashcommands is a new (totally revised) site and you are encouraged to start a forum on commands or scripting.  We also encourage you to explore all of the reference sites listed if you are interested in learning shell commands.  Amongst them, you will find almost all of the Linux command language.  Please add commands via the Webform.  This would include commands with different options and modifications as well as variants that might be found in differing distros (e.g., "su" versus "sudo").  Finally, short sets of commands and specific scripts are all welcome.  Above everything else, enjoy.

Bashcommands is a searchable database of some of the most commonly used Linux commands. The core is built in MySQL and accessed via phpMyAdmin.   That may sound complex but it is not;  anyone with a basic knowledge of linux package management (e.g., Synaptic or aptitude) can easily install and use both MySQL and phpMyAdmin.  There is no need to know or use SQL language  as phpMyAdmin provides a simple and intuitive, browser-driven GUI to manage things.  Bashcommands is designed to be downloaded and used locally.

The "Commands" database was intended for importing into MySQL but  database can be downloaded into Open Office Base as a static .csv package.  Also available are a listing of the command titles and commands if no other information is needed.

There are 13 "fields" in Commands which can be viewed in the table below.  To see an actual picture of the database follow this link.

The philosophy behind Commands was (is) simple. The project needed keyword searching, contained the core command, a generic example, and a specific example for usage. Other entries (a note on the expected outcome, an example of the expected outcome, a caution on using the command if warranted, and a reference source to go to if more detailed information is needed) were added over time. All of the fields are editable. Custom fields can be added if 13 categories don't meet your needs.
