I found this little one for free on Amazon Kindle. Each tip is concise and full of examples. Most of them are really time-savers. Use them wisely!

Good quick read

Read this on my phone. The formatting was an issue. But excellent time saving tips. Please add more tips to this. You can cover basics of awk, sed, perl, cut, try, find, grep etc which we usually pipe on the command line to extract information from large files quickly. Not quite bash, I agree but the logical next step.

Very useful for Linux terminal users

I have read this book several times hoping to memorize the tips. By the time, I get back to my terminal, I forget the codes and the tablet is switched off. These tips will save time by avoiding repetitious activities. Only by practice can you remember them.

If free worth reading

Only 10 tips are there. Out of them 8 were not really tips. Half of the book is advertising of other courses and books

A short, but nontheless informative tips book for Bash.

Easy to read with provided examples. Even some tips are already khown, but I also got some tips from this free book. Recommend for new Linux users.

I have been a programmer for many years, and this too has helped me to adapt to the Linux version of programming. It is good to have read this, and it has helped me in many ways.
