DiscoverMyUnixCommands

Back Story:

  I was reading "Python: for Unix and Linux System Administration" when I
came accross the default location for most of my computer's terminal
commands. While looking through the list, I realized that I only knew
of the more common commands, but there a plenty of other useful commands
on my computer.

  I am writing this tool in hope that I can use it to become more familiar
with these commands.

Install:

git clone git@github.com:crazcalm/DiscoverMyUnixCommands.git

Usage:

input: python unix_cmd.py -h

output: usage: unix_cmd.py [-h] (-d, --default | -l, --local | -a, --all)
               [-s, --startswith S, __STARTSWITH | -i, --includes I, __INCLUDES]

        A tool to help discover the terminal commands on your Unix Based Machine.

        optional arguments:
          -h, --help            show this help message and exit
          -d, --default         lists files from /usr/bin directory
          -l, --local           lists files from the /usr/local/bin directory
          -a, --all             Lists files from both /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin
                                directories
          -s, --startswith S, __STARTSWITH
                                applies a grep '^char' filter to the output
          -i, --includes I, __INCLUDES
                                applies a grep 'string' filter to the output

        use: 'man [cmd]' or '[cmd] -h' or '[cmd] --help' to see how that cmd is used

Warnings:

  The very basic commands (like "ls", "rm", "cp", etc) are not in either of
the directories that I am searching through.

  If you know which directory those commands are located in, feel free to add
it into the code or contacts me and I'll add it.
