A nitpick, just in case you haven't noticed and would want to make the correction, in the text you say:
> In the example above, you see my username "limedaring", and my computer name, “Orion,”
but the examples say "username@computer".
Another nitpick, I wonder if readers might see the commands in uppercase and think that those should work too. I can imagine them seeing "command not found" when trying them out and not realize that it's because LS != ls to the shell.
Yet another, maybe it'd be a good idea to include `cp -r` and `cp -rv`. I don't know, it might add to the intimidation, but I imagine that's also a basic operation they'll want and miss when doing `cp dir/`.
Great work, by the way. CLIs are great and in many if not most cases far more powerful than GUIs, but they're often taken as old and useless by the general public because they were more prevalent back before GUIs were common. It's great to see something aimed to be more easily digestible for the general public. Maybe CLIs can get more appreciation this way.
- limedaring 8y agoThanks for the nitpicks! Going to update the Mac version too when I release the Linux/Windows versions, this is super helpful.
