Contribute

Fork project's Github repo.

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

Just edit some page from pages/ folder and submit a pull request.

Best practices:

Focus on the 5-6 most common usages.
When in doubt, keep new command-line users in mind.
Introduce examples gradually, from the simplest to more complex.
Don't explain general UNIX concepts.
Have a look at a few existing pages.
