🐧 Linux Tip of the Day. Want to repeat your last command without retyping it?.Just use:. !!. Example:. $ apt update.# Oops, forgot sudo. $ !!. This expands to your previous command (sudo apt update) and runs it again. A tiny trick, but it saves you countless keystrokes. ⌨️⚡.

1️⃣4️⃣ Encrypt & decrypt files like a spy. You have a sensitive file:.$ echo “This is sensitive info“ > secret.txt. Encrypt it:.$ gpg -c secret.txt.→ produces secret.txt.gpg (safe to send/store). → You can delete the plain secret.txt now. Decrypt it:.$ gpg secret.txt.gpg.→

1️⃣3️⃣ Replace text in 1000+ files. $ echo "This old car is older than the old bike." > demo.txt. $ cat demo.txt. $ grep -rl "old" . | xargs sed -i 's/old/new/g'.$ cat demo.txt. This gives you infinite power.

5️⃣ Live tail multiple logs. Install multitail:.$ sudo apt install multi tail. Watch two log files at a time:.$ sudo multitail /var/log/syslog /var/log/auth.log. Because monitoring one file is for amateurs.
