I bookmarked this as it will be very helpful to me, so thank you! My constructive or no so constructive criticism is that I really really don't like the theme. I find it really hard to look at and a bit difficult to read.

I'm about to implement some common color-themes which'll be easy to toggle (visually/color-wise it'll be like those themes you'd see in an IDE like Eclipse or Intelli-J f.e.). I expect to be finished with the feature in a week or so. Thank you for the feedback and glad you like the content :-)

Echoing that is is a very useful site and echoing concerns re: theme and glad you are giving some options! Specially, I'd like to callout the main problem to address when adding additional themes is that the headers are needless bright while there is very low contrast when it comes to the actual content.

Very nice. I know that it is a bash quick reference, but I was kinda expecting to see an example, at least for each section. Or a different page with a few examples and maybe a simulator. Kinda to see the magic. But it's cool nevertheless.

Second this. I was looking for examples of how to use some of the commands. I was able to easily google it in another tab, but it broke the quick-reference workflow.

> Access Codes & Permissions This section is missing stuff like setuid, sticky bit, extended attributes, etc. (SELinux stuff and setgid? I'm not sure if there's more.) For example, `ls -ld /tmp` shows `drwxrwxrwt`, `ls -l /bin/sudo` shows `-rwsr-xr-x`. > History Expansion To this section, it might be good to add `!$`. Also maybe a quick overview on word designators, to cover syntax like `!:^`, `!:2`, `!: `, etc. Ther…

That's a great help! Thank you.

I like the site! Question, any reason why your internal hyperlinks ( ) jump to beneath the header of the section instead of showing the header of the section?

This is a common issue when using links to jump to page headings, when the top bar has fixed positioning: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4086107/fixed-page-heade...

I always find the context switch to get to a website jarring, and really really love tools that give me documentation on the command line. For example, I can type "go doc foo.Bar" and instantly read the docs for foo.Bar (where foo is usually resolved to example.com/some/go/package/foo, based on what is in go.mod and installed on the system). So for this, I would really like bash's built-in help to show me all this st…

I understand the concern, but [ is one of those idiosyncratic shell builtins that you eventually get used to and the help does point you toward maybe typing "help test". But, yeah it should probably say it explicitly or just append the "help test" content when it prints "help [".
