    To things that helps no mater your skill level the tab key is your best friend and man pages are great but if those are overwhelming install the package tldr then you can use the command tldr and the command you are trying to run to give you helpful examples of how to use that command.

    Also old users don’t remember long commands if we use a command more than once. You save it to your bash alias file to create your own commands.

      A good example for this is docker compose -f when you work alot if compose files ! Having an alias for docker compose -f as dcf saves hours a month xD
