Command line tools are an indispensable part of any computer user's daily routine. While fancy GUIs offer tremendous functionality, they just can't replace the old-school goodness of the command line.

2.Pipes

-Class of tools that help you send the output of one command to another command.

3.Grep

-Helps you search through any text within a file on your system for a specific phrase.

4.Wget

-Gives you some serious control over your downloads.

5.SSH

-Connects you to another computer and lets you use its terminal as if you were sitting right in front of it.

6.Chmod
