Contribute

Fork the project's GitHub repository.

This repository is just that: an ever-growing collection of examples for the most common UNIX / Linux / OSX / SunOS commands.

Just edit any pages from the pages/ directory and submit a pull request.

Best practices:

• Focus on up to 8 of the most common usages.
• When in doubt, keep new command-line users in mind.
• Introduce examples gradually, from the simplest to more complex ones.
• Don't explain general UNIX concepts.
• Have a look at a few existing pages if you need any help.

Check out the more detailed Contributing Guidelines.
