The Pitch
This is not a book about Shell Programming. There are many excellent Shell Programming books (see below). This is about general terminal and shell skills which will make you effective with many day to day tasks. Some shell programming is covered, but this is primarily a book about how to work more effectively with command line interfaces and shells in general.
Possible titles:
Darkscreen: 30 ways to use shells and terminals to be more effective developer or operator.
Effective Shell: 30 ways to use shells and terminals to be more effective.
Command the Shell: 30 ways to be more effective with software.
Publishers
Books which I've found exciting, which I think could be examples of how this book might be developed:
- Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs
- Effective Modern C++: 42 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of C++11 and C++14
- 3D Graphics Programming: Games & Beyond
- How Linux Works, 2nd Edition

- The main content is at website/content/docs/
- The menu structure is defined at website/content/menu/index.md.
