Paging man pages. Try it on your Mac: Open Terminal, type man ls, then press Return. The ls command’s man page is quite long, and you’ll need to press the spacebar several times to get to the bottom. Sometimes, when you’re viewing a man page, you need to go back up and look at something that’s no longer visible.

I'm hoping to build on my embarrassingly-limited knowledge of the command line, and I know there are a ton of great resources out there. I'm wondering if there are any books or other resources that are tailored specifically to the OS X user running Terminal.

Well, there is always Apple´s official command line guide but back when I learned my way around the Terminal, I found Unix for the beginning Mage (PDF, free) quite entertaining and educational (given it suits your humour).

If you´d rather go for a book, I´d highly recommend 'The Mac OS X Command Line: Unix Under the Hood'.

This Mac OS X Unix Tutorial has a lot of information in there which you could start from. All in all, I think that if you start up with any of the good resources on Linux (or Unix), you should be able to get up to speed with most aspects of Unix on OS X.

O'Reilly has several Learning UNIX for Mac OS X books. Best mac driving game with steering wheel and manual transmission. They were all published several years ago, and the most recent one is for Tiger. But they are still relevant to UNIX, as one of the great things about UNIX is that the fundamentals are quite stable.

I'm a fan of Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal, by Joe Kissell. It's a $10 ebook that is specifically designed for beginning command line users on Mac OS X. I think it's exactly what you asked for. Mac os el capitan manual. I find many O'Reilly UNIX books to be frustratingly opaque for the beginner.

Book blurb from the above link:

https://clothesomg.netlify.app/advanced-mac-cleaner-manual-removal.html. It’s been a truism on macOS for some time that the most reviled piece of software on the platform is MacKeeper, but brother-in-arms Advanced Mac Cleaner must be running it a close second.Advanced Mac Cleaner is produced by PCVark and has many incarnations. Aside from ‘AMC’, it’s also distributed as Mac Tonic, Mac Mechanic, Malware-Crusher, Mac Optimizer and now, the most recent form we’re seeing, Mac Auto Fixer.Like all the other forms of AMC, this app gets bundled in with fake Flash installers and writes itself all over your Mac to multiple places inside your user and local domain Library folders.

If you've ever thought you should learn how to use the Unix command line that underlies Mac OS X, or felt at sea when typing commands into Terminal, Joe Kissell is here to help! This 111-page ebook will help you become comfortable working on the Mac's command line, starting with the fundamentals and walking you through more advanced topics as your knowledge increases. And if you're uncertain how to put your new-found skills to use, Joe includes numerous real-life 'recipes' for tasks that are best done from the command line.

Disclaimer: Though I wrote a Take Control book seven years ago, I have no financial interest in Joe's book.
