Article titled _How to Manipulate Files and Strings from the Terminal_ does not mention terminal-based text editors. Brushing that aside, it also does not feature `cp`, `rm`, `find` or `git`...

Hi! I'm the writer.

I figured git deserved an article on its own, rather than mentioning it in passing in a bash article.

About cp and rm, I actually wrote about more basic commands in the previous article, also linked there: http://www.datastuff.tech/programming/terminal-tutorial-more...

Though seeing your comment makes me think I could just combine both articles into a longer one.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi, I had a quick look at the post and it didn't seem that it was part of a canonical series of posts. That may room for improvement on the website design.

Hi! I made the paragraph mentioning my previous article more prominent, do you think it's clearer now? Thanks for the feedback, this is one of the reasons why I like sharing my articles on HN.

I must admit I really only had a cursory glance. I didn't want to read the article as I already know how to use the basic commands. It's entirely possible I'm just a dummy and didn't see an obvious link. I wouldn't take my feedback too seriously, unless you receive the same feedback from others too.

I meant more that it would be nice if the website design itself clearly indicated the presence of other related posts. This is about post metadata which shouldn't be communicated solely in the post itself but also in the way that post is presented.
