Keep this linux cheat sheet on your desk printed, I am sure you will learn them quick and will be a linux expert very soon. We have added had both pdf and image (png) format of the cheat sheet. Please keep us posted if you need us to add more commands. Command are categorized 13 sections according its usage.We have designed the command in white color with black background as we often use on linux shell. We have added bit color for attraction :-).
We have grouped commands in the below categories
a) System
b) Hardware
c) Users
d) File Commands
e) Process Related
f) File Permission
g) Network
h) Compression / Archives
i) Install Packages
j) Install Source
k) Search
l) Login
m) File Transfer
n) Directory Traverse
Download linux cheat sheet in pdf format and refer each command in detail.
Wow, very good idea, this cheat-sheet is very nice to have under the keyboard.
Seeing forward for more commands on this sheet.
Philip, sure will add more commands as it goes.
Handy chart, but why this order? Why not by frequency of use, order of likely need, or alphabetical?
Hi Paul, thanks for sharing your ideas. Many users use different frequency based on their specific job. Alphabetical order will not likely help specific requirement. "Order of like" suggestion is good idea :-)
I really like the layout of this Paul. I am just learning linux and trying to learn some commands. If I wanted to put a link in a file directory or delete a directory then trying to find it alphabetically would be hard since I don't know the command I am looking for. Also the poster is right. Which commands someone uses most often depends upon what they usually work with. If I know I want to change a directory or file I can just look into the appropriate category.
How about moving sections like system and hardware far away from the top and sticking to commonly used but harder to remember sections like process, install from package etc near the top.
Nice sheet.
I use just about all these commands, and more; only thing I learned is that should really be using hostname -i more often instead of scanning through ifconfig -a for my IP. :)
Also wanted to point at an error in your cheat sheet:
"bg" does not "Lists stopped or background jobs"; it puts the most recent job in the background (ctrl-z then bg). It's "jobs" that lists 'em (which I always have aliased to just "j").
Awesome stuff, thank you. Would you consider doing it as a 16:9 Wallpaper?
@Craig Yes will design a wallpaper sketch. There are few minor errors on the cheat sheet , once I correct all then I will do
Small typo after uname -r. Says "isplay kernel information" instead of "Display.."
Bundle of thanks brother
Thanks Javed
Why each command begins with '#'? It makes the whole very useful thing less readable!
@TesTeq "#" symbol is removed :-)
Thank you! Great cheat sheet!
Great thanks for this cheat sheet
Maybe a write-background for printing would be an idea?
@Tobbi Thanks for the comments. I will see if i can make a change the background :-)
Cool ;-)
Hi Bobbin,
I came back to see if you'd fixed the error I pointed out on your cheat sheet, but instead I see that not only was it not fixed, but my comment pointing it was DELETED. Why? I'm not wrong.
To be clear - The ERROR above is that "bg" does NOT "list stopped or background jobs"; the "jobs" command does that. "bg" puts the most recent job in the background.
Hi Jason, You are 100% correct. I am really thankful for pointing out this. I really saw your comments other day. Please give me couple days , I will change it on infograph. I have already changed on the html page(detailed command page).
@Jason please find the updated sheet
There's a typo in the chart:
In the File Permission related section: #chmod 755 sets rwx for owner, r_x for group and world. #chmod 766 would sets rwx for owner, rw for group and world
@David I will correct typo soon. Thanks... :-)
@David its sorted :-)
White background? Please?
@Keven check http://goo.gl/WVTTUu one friend made print copy :-)
The only MAJOR problem I have with this so far is that the page clearly states at the top that this page is 'supposed' to be for the Black & White version of the Cheatsheet, however the .pdf file linked to is for the Color version. And the cheatsheet image itself is the color version as well. So where do we actually get the Black & White version from?
Ok, I'll ask again since my post was apparently deleted. Why is this page titled "Linux Commands Cheat Sheet in Black & White" when only the color version is supplied as a .pdf and the image shown is the color version. I'd like to download the BLACK & WHITE .pdf version, not the color .pdf one, not the color .png one, but yes the BLACK & WHITE version. (if you're not going to provide the Black & White version on a page that is clearly labeled as being for the Black & White version then the least you can do is change the name of the page to reflect that fact!!!)
Hi Edwin , thanks for the comments. Let me see if I can get black & white version. Other option would be print document in black & white ink then scan the document to pdf version
A cool idea but I have some suggestions;
1) How about adding package managers other then rpm (apt-get at least, since most Linux n00bs will be using Debian-based distros)
2) Could you provide us with source files so anyone can make translated versions of the infographic and submi it back here?
Cheers!
Let me see if i can edit it and will check with graphic designer who did it :-)
Hi Bobbin great thanks.. this sheet is very useful for me to learn hdfs file operations in hadoop.
thanks

Thanks Hareesh
Please INVERT colors before printing!
It would be really really helpful to have a true black & white version. The color version is very nice, but not all printers handle pdf color inversion correctly. Excellent work collecting this useful cheat-sheet.
I wanted a more copy/search-friendly version, FWIW https://gist.github.com/paulredmond/b6c509d24666619e4b9ced8e1b6fcb64
nice :-)
Awesome!
