This seems to be a rip off of https://www.commandlinefu.com/

In fact, I just checked a few commands and descriptions on this site, and they are identical in formulation of both the command and the description.

Also, one of the first commands on this site is:

    New Maintainer for CommandLineFu
    >_ mail tech@commandlinefu.com

Why would it even mention this other site's name here unless it was a complete copy/paste of the commands from the other site?

Oh wow, can we get the link changed to https://www.commandlinefu.com/ instead?

https://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/25015/display-in...

Wow it looks like every thread is full of spam comments, really unfortunate.

SEO playing dirty. They have injected random content and a link. Most probably, they are profiting the reputation of commandlinefu.com, trying increase the google score of their sites.

Yes I used the https://www.commandlinefu.com/site/api to get the data. I should have mentioned it on the site. And I will add in in the next update.

https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/basics.html has also lots of other info/tips to offer not just the one liners so it's not just a rip off of the particular website :)

tbh both sites UI is extremely user unfriendly.

I'd rather search google.

which one came first?
