# 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you ever want to take a screen recording of the terminal just type in:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
asciinema rec
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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/
|
||
|
|
```
