Memorize Terminal Commands

This is a really cool idea! I love that there's an option to train on git commands. Git has always been the kind of thing where I only learn as much as I need in order to do the…

I love the idea, it's like push-ups for programmers. (Though actual push-ups wouldn't be a bad idea either ;) On that note, are there other things that come to mind like that?…

This is a really cool idea. I think ideally, it could do with a Duolingo/Flash card style approach where your first taught the commands, and then asked to write them.

``` Your answer: ls -lha Correct answer: ls -lah ``` Oh dear.

Question: Write the command that reads the file that has the name (text.txt) and shows only one page each time you hit space and it allows you to explore the file back and…

First question didn't go great, would be nice if there was a way to report missing answers. Question: Write the command which you use to move inside the directory which has the…

Yeah, a handful of these tripped me up as well. I got: Question: Write the command that you use to move into your home directory '~' Your answer: cd Correct answer: cd ~ The man…

The responsive design is unusable on an iPhone SE. This would have the most appeal to me as something to use during downtime (e.g. on the train) rather than when I am at my desk…

This is very neat. I found it difficult to read/parse the descriptions, they almost feel like sentence riddles. Also, the column width may be too wide for fast reading. Maybe one…

Some of these are kinda poorly phrased, and the answer in a few of them could've been "depends" more than once. Would be slightly better if the questions were more specific, or…

What is this??? I see a gif with terminals commands and a sign up. You have no call to action. There is nothing on the page that tell me what this is about or how this will…

I got bit by that as well. I think testing common arguments is useful, but I wonder if it would make more sense to limit to a single argument. That would eliminate the need to…

there is also ls -lh -a, ls -l -a -h and so on. I am going to solve this by adding an option in the future to activate the regex if the user doesn't want to memorize a single…

Why not do it by default? Why do you believe you can choose one "right" pattern? Also: Questions repeated multiple time within single session. ``` Question: Write the command…

Another suggestion: Instead of just the verbal description of what to type, how about some sample output to? That wouldn't give away any answers but would help understand what…

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I agree 100% with you. I am thinking to provide hints to the users either by giving a link to the source or showing a picture of the results or…

Can you do something about duplicate questions?

Sure! After I get all the questions in place, there will be no duplicate questions.

Yeah, a handful of these tripped me up as well. I got: Question: Write the command that you use to move into your home directory '~' Your answer: cd Correct answer: cd ~ The man…

Anki is superb for this sort of stuff. It implements a spaced repetition algorithm to keep the added content in your memory while minimizing the number of times that you need to…
