This is a great series. I'm going to share with my team, just to make sure they can fill in any items they're missing, like using bash functions for shortcuts or aliasing.

BTW, Stanford did an online training course 5 years ago or something called CS 184 Startup Engineering. They had some excellent tutorials on the CLI and Emacs [1]. -I wish I could find the materials, if anyone else can find them.-

Actually, I found them online: [1] http://docshare.tips/cli-git-emacs-dotfiles_57592eb2b6d87f37...
