When should you use it, and when should you refrain from doing so?<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" name=\"habracut\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"budem-chestny\">Let's be honest<\/h2>\n<p>None of us really needs the terminal. We are accustomed to clicking on everything we can and triggering something. We\u2019re too lazy to open something and type commands. We want functionality here and now. Most of us don't even use the terminal at all. Is it worth using at all?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pochemu-ispolzovat-terminal-nuzhno\">Why should you use the terminal?<\/h2>\n<p>It's convenient. You don\u2019t have to switch between multiple windows or search for something with the mouse. You can simply write the necessary command.<br \/>\nLet\u2019s outline situations when the terminal <strong>is needed<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you need to enable something and there\u2019s no time to search for it in the settings (Hello, GUI dconf)<\/li>\n<li>When it's simpler to find a file or folder in the terminal rather than wasting time on the GUI (fzf does a great job with this task)<\/li>\n<li>When it\u2019s easier to quickly edit a file in Vim, Neovim, Nano, or Micro rather than delving into an IDE<\/li>\n<li>When there's <em>only<\/em> the terminal (like resetting settings in Ubuntu or installing Arch Linux, for example)<\/li>\n<li>When you need speed, not quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once <strong>do not need<\/strong> to use the terminal:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When this functionality isn't available in the terminal (this happens very rarely, but it does happen)<\/li>\n<li>When it's more convenient to do it in the GUI rather than struggle with TUI (like debugging programs, for instance)<\/li>\n<li>When you don\u2019t really know how to do anything in the terminal, but you need to do something quickly (you might spend more time automating than actually doing the task, I think this is familiar to everyone)<\/li>\n<li>When convenience, not speed, is required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the main rules that should not be forgotten. It may seem simple, but the urge to \"let's try to automate everything instead of clicking the mouse twice\" often takes priority. People are inherently lazy, but this isn't always beneficial for them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"delaem-sam-terminal-zhiznesposobnym\">Making the terminal viable<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s my minimal set to do something reasonably well in the terminal:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tmux<\/strong> \u2014 to split the window into panes (if you spawn a bunch of terminal windows and switch between them for a long time, the whole idea loses its meaning; it\u2019s easier to just switch between applications with the GUI)<\/p>\n<p><strong>fzf<\/strong> \u2014 to quickly find something. It\u2019s indeed faster than using the GUI. vim  and select the file name, and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>zsh<\/strong> \u2014 (specifically OhMyZsh) the terminal should be user-friendly and not jarring to the eyes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>neovim<\/strong> \u2014 as the purpose of being in the terminal is almost lost without it. An editor that can do much more than GUI applications.<\/p>\n<p>And also a huge number of other applications: ranger (or ViFM), how2, live-server, nmcli, xrandr, python3, jshell, diff, git, and more.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-kakoy-smysl\">And what\u2019s the point?<\/h2>\n<p>Just think about it; when you try to load a full-fledged IDE just to change a small script \u2014 it\u2019s irrational. It\u2019s much easier to quickly edit it in Vim (or Nano, for those who don\u2019t like the Vim layout). You can do things faster, but you don\u2019t need to learn everything in the terminal. Perhaps, while working in the terminal, you will never need to learn the Bash scripting language because you don\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s make things simpler and view different things from various perspectives rather than dividing everything into black and white.<\/p>\n<p class=\"for_users_only_msg\">Only registered users can participate in the survey. <a href=\"https:\/\/habr.com\/ru\/auth\/login\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Please log in<\/a>, please.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"default-block__polling-title\">Do you often use the terminal?<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"poll-result\">\n<li class=\"poll-result__item\"><strong class=\"poll-result__data-percent  poll-result__data-percent_winner\">86,7%<\/strong>Yes208<\/li>\n<li class=\"poll-result__item\"><strong class=\"poll-result__data-percent\">8,8%<\/strong>No21<\/li>\n<li class=\"poll-result__item\"><strong class=\"poll-result__data-percent\">4,6%<\/strong>Not sure11<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>240 users voted. 23 users abstained.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/habr.com\/ru\/post\/491560\/\">habr.com<\/a><\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0412 \u0434\u0430\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c\u0435 \u043c\u044b \u043f\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0438\u043c, \u043f\u043e\u0447\u0435\u043c\u0443 \u0432\u0430\u0436\u043d\u043e \u043d\u0435 \u043e\u0442\u0440\u0435\u043a\u0430\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u043e\u0442 \u0442\u0435\u0440\u043c\u0438\u043d\u0430\u043b\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u043d\u043e\u0441\u0442\u044c\u044e, \u0430 \u0438\u0441\u043f\u043e\u043b\u044c\u0437\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0435\u0433\u043e \u0432 \u043c\u0435\u0440\u0443. \u0412 \u043a\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0445 \u0441\u043b\u0443\u0447\u0430\u044f\u0445 \u0435\u0433\u043e \u043d\u0443\u0436\u043d\u043e \u0438\u0441\u043f\u043e\u043b\u044c\u0437\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0442\u044c, \u0430 \u0432 \u043a\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0445 \u043d\u0435 \u0441\u0442\u043e\u0438\u0442. \u0411\u0443\u0434\u0435\u043c \u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043d\u044b \u041d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0438\u0437 \u043d\u0430\u0441 \u043e\u0441\u043e\u0431\u043e \u0442\u0435\u0440\u043c\u0438\u043d\u0430\u043b \u043d\u0435 \u043d\u0443\u0436\u0435\u043d. \u041c\u044b \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0432\u044b\u043a\u043b\u0438 \u043a \u0442\u043e\u043c\u0443, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u043d\u0430 \u0432\u0441\u0451, \u0447\u0442\u043e \u0442\u043e\u043b\u044c\u043a\u043e \u043c\u043e\u0436\u043d\u043e \u043c\u044b \u043c\u043e\u0436\u0435\u043c \u043a\u043b\u0438\u043a\u043d\u0443\u0442\u044c \u043c\u044b\u0448\u043a\u043e\u0439 \u0438 \u0437\u0430\u0442\u0440\u0438\u0433\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0442\u044c \u0447\u0442\u043e-\u0442\u043e. \u041d\u0430\u043c [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":1,"featured_media":73603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[688],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-administrirovanie"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.2 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u0412 \u0434\u0430\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u0442\u044c\u0435 \u043c\u044b \u043f\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0438\u043c, \u043f\u043e\u0447\u0435\u043c\u0443 \u0432\u0430\u0436\u043d\u043e.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Yuri Gagarin\"\/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/prohoster.info\/en\/blog\/administrirovanie\/kak-sdelat-terminal-vashim-pomoshhnikom-a-ne-vragom\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 5.0.2\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"ProHoster | \u041a\u0443\u043f\u0438\u0442\u044c \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0435\u0436\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0445\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043d\u0433 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0441\u0430\u0439\u0442\u043e\u0432 \u0441 \u0437\u0430\u0449\u0438\u0442\u043e\u0439 \u043e\u0442 DDoS, VPS VDS \u0441\u0435\u0440\u0432\u0435\u0440\u044b\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\ud83e\udd47\u041a\u0430\u043a \u0441\u0434\u0435\u043b\u0430\u0442\u044c \u0442\u0435\u0440\u043c\u0438\u043d\u0430\u043b \u0432\u0430\u0448\u0438\u043c \u043f\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0449\u043d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u043c, \u0430 \u043d\u0435 \u0432\u0440\u0430\u0433\u043e\u043c?
