Command Line Fu is a simple way to browse commandlinefu.com - the place where all Command Line Ninjas (tm) share their best command line snippets. Browse the most recent or the most popular snippets and expand your CLI wisdom! You can even search the archive, too! This app uses commandlinefu.com's API to present the data, but is otherwise unaffiliated with the site. It's simply my humble tribute to a site I dig more and more as I spend more time with it. I'd love feedback and comments on how to make the app even better.
