Calling all Terminal nerds
Merlin Mann | Sep 16 2004
CLI nerds and UNIX ex-pats, I have a humble but profound request: help us GUI laggards learn more about getting started in the OS X Terminal. We all secretly know that’s where all your good junk is hidden, but it can be pretty daunting to the uninitiated user. I propose that when you command-line wizards happen upon a web resource that might be useful to someone new to the Terminal, you should post it to del.icio.us with the tag “OSXCLI” (I’m pronouncing it “AHSS-klee”). And please do comment in your link: why is this good and who will it benefit? Here’s the RSS feed for the rest of us. Alternately, you can post a link in comments here, but I think the collaborative, RSS-able option, as ever, is more fun, don’t you? Now get linking, beard guy. 19 Comments

I personally think the best Terminal step I've taken is to dump it and start using iTerm. Here's a blog post I wrote on the topic. That said, I don't the OSX has a terminal program to rival Windows' SecureCRT as of yet. Would that it did. » POSTED IN:
