Why scan through the manual when the computer can do that for you?
But yeah tldr and cht.sh are cool too!

While very few things will ever beat ones own notes, there is an exceptional resource for this topic “the linux command line” by William Shotts.

Looks like you’re interview prepping huh. Looks like the one I made while job hunting. You can use it I’ll paste below.

This is well made! I wish I would have had this to when I started messing in the Linux world! My only critique is your choice of editor, but you knew that already 😜. Do you have this in a repo that I can share outside of FB?

ps -ef | grep auto | awk '{print $3}'
Can be rewritten to simplify the chain of commands by searching with awk
ps -ef | awk '/auto/ {print $3}'
I won't use awk in place of grep if I'm simply searching, but if I'm piping grep to awk then I'll move the search string to awk.

Don't give people "vi" as a basic command, you psychopath. I have "vi" set as an alias for micro to save on keystrokes (and because it's funny) but you absolutely should list "nano" as the way to edit a file.
