Preface
I would be fooling myself if I claim to be proficient in Linux command line. So I took the Linux Command Line video course to enhance my knowledge in the area.
ls: list directory content

head: output the first part of file

tail: output the last part of file
Userful Options:
| Option | Meaning |

| -f | loop forever, checking for new data at the end of the file(s) |
wildcard: a symbol used to replace or represent one or more characters.

touch chapters{1,2,3}.txt
// will create chapters1.txt, chapters2.txt and chapters3.txttar: create, maintain, modify, and extract files that are archived in the tar format.
Userful Options:
| Option | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| -c | create a new archive. | tar -cf archive.tar file1 file2 |
| -f | use archive file or device ARCHIVE | |
| -v | verbosely list files processed. | |

gzip: compress
wget: download file over network.
Userful Options:
| Option | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| -O | specify output | wget -O file http://foo |
id: prints real and effective user and group ID
uid=501(michaelzheng) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),12(everyone)
groups: show group memberships
groups //staff everyone
whoami: prints the effective user
whoami //michaelzheng
chmod: change the permissions of files or directories
For a file with listing like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 michaelzheng staff 1983 Jul 17 16:17 README.md
The first char is the type. The 2-4 is the owner permission for reading, writing and execution respectively. 5-6 is for group members and 9-11 is for others. Taking the example above for illustration:
-: normal file
rw-: owner(i.e. michaelzheng) can read and write
r--: groups members can only read
r--: others can only read
To change each permission group, we can convert binary representation to octal format.
| r | w | e |
|---|---|---|
| 4(i.e. 2^2) | 2(i.e. 2^1) | 1(i.e. 2^0) |
Therefore, if I want to grant owner rwx(4 * 1 + 2 * 1 + 1 * 1 = 7), group member rx(4 * 1 + 2 * 0 + 1 * 1 = 5) and others r (4 * 1 + 2 * 0 + 1 * 0 = 4) then i can use
chmod 750 README.md
