$ about TerminalCraft
A curated collection of command-line wisdom for developers, sysadmins, and terminal enthusiasts who believe the CLI is still the fastest way to get things done.
~/ why this exists
TerminalCraft was born from a simple observation: the best developers I know spend most of their time in the terminal. Not because they have to — because it's faster.
But becoming fluent in the shell takes time. You stumble upon a useful tool, spend hours configuring it, then forget the keybindings a month later. Or you see a coworker execute a complex operation in seconds that would have taken you ten minutes of clicking through GUIs.
This site exists to capture and share that knowledge. Every article solves a real problem or makes a workflow demonstrably faster. No fluff, no filler — just practical, battle-tested CLI wisdom you can use right away.
