Mission

Bash-Hacks publishes one useful bash one-liner every weekday, explained flag by flag. The kind of thing you would have worked out eventually, but faster.

Just a searchable archive of tested, practical commands.

Feedback

Spotted a broken command, a missing flag, or a better way to do something? Send it to feedback@bash-hacks.com. Corrections, ideas for entries, and constructive criticism are all welcome.

Messages that would not survive a grep -v for basic civility are piped to /dev/null on arrival.

Privacy, plainly

This site does not collect analytics, does not set cookies, and does not track visitors. There are no server logs, no access logs, and no request recording of any kind.

The newsletter (if you subscribe) is delivered via a third-party service that stores your email address. You can unsubscribe at any time.
