FAQ
How do I look up a Linux command quickly, for free?
Search for what you want to do — copy, process, archive — and this page shows the command and a short note, bundled and searched entirely in your browser with no upload.
Does it work for macOS too?
Most of these commands work in the macOS terminal as well, since it is Unix-based. A few flags differ between GNU and BSD tools.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The reference is bundled and searched entirely in your browser and nothing is transmitted or stored, which you can verify by turning off your Wi-Fi.
Are the destructive commands flagged?
Yes — commands like rm -rf carry a caution in the notes so you use them deliberately.
Limits
A curated common-command reference, not a full manual; check man pages for every option.
