my only hesitation with the CL is having to type in long commands, because im lazy! and after that one can get around future inconvieniences with bash history, scripts, etc.
Aliases and functions are you best friends.

Well, of course the CLI is logical and easy to use! :D

The first time you get there you panic and write: help. After that you get a list of commands and type "help command" or "command --help" and get a list of the basic functions. Easy as that guys! ;)

Hey, I never knew there was a 'help' command ... that's funny :D and convenient, if only I had though to type it.

Try 'help help'.

I've never seen it mentioned anywhere ever that there is a 'help' command. I guess it's not intuitive enough for new users so most documentation ignores it or something...very strange.

onebuck, I prefer `man man`.

Been a very long time since I checked but "man woman" used to be quite interesting (at least under FreeBSD).

Help was first command when teaching DOS, so it is intuitive for some type of people.

:~# help help
help: help [-s] [pattern ...]
Display helpful information about builtin commands. If PATTERN is
specified, gives detailed help on all commands matching PATTERN,
otherwise a list of the builtins is printed. The -s option
restricts the output for each builtin command matching PATTERN to
a short usage synopsis.
I think the 'help help' is helpful.:scratch:

Where 'man -h' is a good reference.
