Bash/Linux terminal patterns. Critical commands, piping, error handling, scripting. Use when working on macOS or Linux systems.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Bash Linux Patterns > Essential patterns for Bash on Linux/macOS. --- ## 1. Operator Syntax ### Chaining Commands | Operator | Meaning | Example | |----------|---------|---------| | `;` | Run sequentially | `cmd1; cmd2` | | `&&` | Run if previous succeeded | `npm install && npm run dev` | | `\|\|` | Run if previous failed | `npm test \|\| echo "Tests failed"` | | `\|` | Pipe output | `ls \| grep ".js"` | --- ## 2. File Operations ### Essential Commands | Task | Command | |------|---------| | List all | `ls -la` | | Find files | `find . -name "*.js" -type f` | | File content | `cat file.txt` | | First N lines | `head -n 20 file.txt` | | Last N lines | `tail -n 20 file.txt` | | Follow log | `tail -f log.txt` | | Search in files | `grep -r "pattern" --include="*.js"` | | File size | `du -sh *` | | Disk usage | `df -h` | --- ## 3. Process Management | Task | Command | |------|---------| | List processes | `ps aux` | | Find by name | `ps aux \| grep node` | | Kill by PID | `kill -9 <PID>` | | Find port user | `lsof -i :3000` | | Kill port | `kill -9 $(lsof -t -i :3000)` | | Background | `npm run dev &` | | Jobs | `jobs -l` | | Bring to front | `fg %1` | --- ## 4.

What does the bash-linux skill do?
Bash/Linux terminal patterns. Critical commands, piping, error handling, scripting. Use when working on macOS or Linux systems.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill bash-linux --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
