Commands.dev

👋🏼 Hi Product Hunt community, I’m Ian, an engineer at Warp. I’m excited to launch Commands.dev to the community. Commands.dev is an open-source, searchable collection of popular terminal commands curated from across the internet. 👩🏻‍💻 What is Commands.dev? When I was first learning to use the terminal, I would often find myself pressing the up arrow twenty to thirty times, painstakingly trying to find the exact command I had in my head but could not, for the life of me, seem to remember the exact syntax for. The command in question was not one I had committed to memory - it was rarely used, or had complex parameters that I did not fully understand enough to type from scratch. If my tedious history search proved fruitless, I'd be forced to switch my context away from my terminal, open a Chrome tab, and search through Stack Overflow or outdated team wikis until I found the exact command I needed. Our current day solutions have their own issues. Aliasing is difficult to document, hard to search for, not easily parametrized, and tough to share. Completions don’t help you remember long commands or let you search for what the command actually does. Thus, Commands.dev was born. Our team started by collecting commands from common StackOverflow posts since we believed that would translate to commands users would often have trouble remembering. On top of that, our repository is open-source, and we’ve had 20+ contributions from 20+ different users in our community since launch! 🧠 Can I contribute? Yes! Check out our open source repo on Github. As our community grows, so will our database of terminal commands. If you happen to be a Warp user, this repository powers the workflow menu within Warp so you can search commands within the terminal too. So please don’t be shy to contribute! I’m excited to hear what you think of Commands.dev. Our team sincerely hopes this will become a go-to tool on the Internet to consult when developers need to recall a difficult command. Visit us at https://www.commands.dev/ ! And if you want to stay up to date with our progress, please follow Warp on Twitter!

Good one. Congrats!

Big fan of warp, and this! Our brains are better at solving problems and not remembering specific commands 😊 Thanks for creating this!
