Bash commands are the primary way that a user communicates with the Linux operating system. There are quite a few commands that I use daily and a few that I use every once and a while. Because I am not a server administration 100% of the time I though I would create a list of my commands here for reference. Remember, the commands will have a manual page for them and you can view it by typing the man followed by the command.

Basic Commands
man eg: man ls, man df (q to exit man)

Disk Management
df -h (disk free)
du -sh | sort -rn | head

File Management
tar -cvzf filename.tgz directory
