Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an actual shell I can run Linux commands in?
No. It's a searchable reference list rendered in the browser. It doesn't execute anything on your machine.
Why do results include things like 'i', ':w', or ':wq'?
Because the data set includes Vim keystrokes and commands as reference entries, not just standalone executables. That makes the search useful for editor basics as well as normal shell commands.
What does the Copy button copy here?
Only the command name from the card header. If you click Copy on the grep card, it copies 'grep', not the flags block or example.
Can I filter by topic instead of searching everything at once?
Yes. The tool builds category buttons from the command list, so you can switch between areas like File Operations, Network, Permissions, Package Management, and more.
Does search match flags and example usage too?
Yes. The filter checks the category, command, flags, description, and example string, so searching for '-f', 'TODO', or 'apt-get install' can all return matches.
