Share And Discover Cool Bash Tricks With Bash One-Liners

Wanna impress your friends with some cool one-liners? Well not those kind of one-liners, I’m talking about the nerdy ones. Well, not exactly nerdy, let’s call them geeky. Anyways, Bash one-liners is an open-source project made for sharing and discovering such nifty Bash tricks that will help you tweak or fix your Linux/Unix/BSD computer. Apart from letting you browse existing scripts, the site also lets you submit your own ideas.

The site with its clean, clutter-free interface welcomes you with a collection of the latest Bash tricks submitted by other users. The scripts can be easily copied and pasted to the terminal. Below each script there is a collapsible menu which you can expand to see the script’s explanation and limitations. If keeping up with all the scripts is a little too tough for you, then you can also follow the latest one-liners using RSS.

To start submitting you have to login to the site. Thankfully, you can login with a variety of accounts using Google, Yahoo, and even OpenID. Finally, if you’re a non-geek, and are looking for a particular bash script you’d come across earlier, you can simply add your question to the Wishlist.

Though the project is in its infancy, it looks quite promising; and, it’s quite likely that it will become a huge hit among many Linux users, who, despite having a shiny, GUI-based desktop, still prefer doing things old school.
