# Your terminal is everything!
Your terminal is the main way that you interact with the machine. So you have to make sure that it is optimized to be as lightweight as possible. It is also the main way you create [software](obsidian://open?vault=enter&file=Coding%20Tips%20(Classical)%2FTerminal%20Tips%2FCommands%20%2B%20Settings%2FInternet%2FRepos%2FAbout%20Repositories) interactively to be [hosted](obsidian://open?vault=enter&file=Coding%20Tips%20(Classical)%2FTerminal%20Tips%2FCommands%20%2B%20Settings%2FInternet%2FHosting%2FOn%20Hosts) on the [Internet](obsidian://open?vault=enter&file=Coding%20Tips%20(Classical)%2FTerminal%20Tips%2FCommands%20%2B%20Settings%2FInternet%2FHosting%2FBrowser%20talk%2FAbout%20Browsers)!

Copy and paste with [xclip](https://github.com/astrand/xclip)! You can even [share](https://www.fosslife.org/2-tools-linux-terminal-sharing?cmid=4a5288c5-330b-4694-a774-0e44f9a5fa28) your terminal screen with multiple users using screen & tmux.

Eventually the goal is to port the info I've gather on [this](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HSj4i64hM6291LXvIoWxMJfYn35geWJaAWY9oXkOmm0/edit#) document over to here...eventually.
- The whole bash versus zsh debate is nicely compared to on [this](https://stackabuse.com/zsh-vs-bash/) site. Both are great, use whichever you prefer.
- There is a near infinite amount of things to play around and improve on in your terminal - thus [Terminal To-do's](obsidian://open?vault=Coding%20Tips&file=Terminal%20To-do's) are born.
#### Some Useful Terminal Commands:
These are pretty helpful commands I've found over the years. One example being copying the current working directory:
```
pwd | pbcopy
```
This copies contents of all files & subdirectories in a folder/directory to another folder.
```
cp -r /path/to/source/directory /path/to/destination/directory/
```
