rohad, to linux

This cli tool might be really good for others, like me, who are new to Linux. I love it.

"eg" outputs examples of common commands you query. I tried out "eg touch" in the left panel and this is what came out. Bit more info in the right panel.

You can install it with pip ("sudo apt install pip" then "pip install eg").

Quick tip for users (so you won’t feel as stumped as I did):

If you’re migrating to a new Mac, and you use the command line, remember to give full disk access via System Settings > Privacy & Security.

Without this, you’ll run into errors which seem utterly obscure in the context of a UNIX shell. For example, I got an “Operation not permitted” error when trying a simple ‘ls’ in a folder for which I have full access permissions. 😬

With full disk access, and all's well again.
