Ohhh, an inventory for the command line.

I love that idea.

#cli #commandline

in reply to likely not a disguised martian

this gives me an idea for an interactive fiction style shell:

$ look
home

you are standing in a wide, open field. to your north, you can see ~/Applications. to your east, ~/Desktop. to your south, ~/Documents. to your west, ~/Downloads. type look directions for more.

$ east
you go east.

$ combine file.txt with cat
i don't know how to "combine" something.

$ use file.txt with cat
you insert the file.txt into the cat. you hear whirring, then the following text appears:

[ file output ]

$ look all
you cast the spell of ls -a, and suddenly, dozens of dotfiles make themselves known!
