Here are the Linux Commands that will save you time and headaches
Linux is not just an OS
It is your foundation for real troubleshooting and automation
Here are commands I still use all the time
And how they help when things break
📂 ls — list files
🚶cd — move between folders
🗺️ pwd — see where you are
📄 touch — create empty files
📁 mkdir — make new directories
🗑️ rm — delete old logs and junk
📦 cp — copy files safely
🚚 mv — move or rename files
🐱 cat — read configs fast
🔍 grep — search logs for errors
🔐 chmod — fix permissions
🦸 sudo — run as root when you must
📊 ps — check what is running
📈 top — monitor CPU and memory live
📊 df — check disk space
🌐 ifconfig / ip addr — view network settings
🏓 ping — test connectivity
🔐 ssh — connect to remote servers
📦 tar — compress backups
📖 man — read the manual when stuck
🧩 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝗼
ps aux | grep nginx — find processes
tar czf backup.tar.gz /etc && scp backup.tar.gz server — quick backup and copy
Save these and you will script faster
Troubleshoot production with confidence
And stay calm when things go sideways at 3am
