[1:10:38] Some cool quick Linux command line tricks – If you’ve used Linux long enough, you know there are some seriously cool tricks you can pull from the command line.

The purpose they serve will all vary so you might only find one or two that are of use to you. But no matter if you find a command you can use immediately, you might be able to find one that you can modify to fit some need or other. With that said, let’s dig in.
