**nishant1234** · December 11th, 2012

Can you provide me the details of Ubuntu commands.

Hey nishant1234,

Firstly, man is a command that will tell you about other commands.

Usage

Code:

man cp
man ls

etc.

Secondly, here's a good intro to Ubuntu commands: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

Thirdly, commands that are pretty useful:
* apt-get for installing/removing packages (also apt-cache for searching for packages)
* grep for searching regular expressions. I usually use this for finding something in long outputs, ie ps aux | grep foo will give me processes that are relevant to foo.
* cat for looking at short text files, less for looking at longer text files.
* scp for file transfer between computers. It's secure (goes over ssh).
