In the fall of 2013, thinking about text utilities got me thinking in turn about how my writing habits depend on the Linux command line. This seems like a good hook for explaining some tools I use every day, so now I'm writing a short, haphazard book.
This isn't a book about system administration, writing complex software, or becoming a wizard. I am not a wizard, and I don't subscribe to the idea that wizardry required to use these tools. In fact, I barely know what I'm doing most of the time. I still get some stuff done.
This is a work in progress. It probably gets some stuff wrong.
