Printable Linux Commands Cheat Sheet
Free printable Linux command-line cheat sheet at exact scale — files, permissions, processes, disk, networking, archives and package management on one page.
This Linux commands cheat sheet groups the everyday terminal commands by task — files and directories (ls, cd, cp, mv, rm, find), viewing and searching (cat, less, grep, tail), permissions (chmod, chown, sudo), processes (ps, top, kill), disk and system info (df, du, free, uname), networking (ip, ping, ss, curl, ssh, scp), archives (tar, gzip, zip) and package managers (apt, dnf, pacman).
It's a great desk reference for anyone learning Linux or brushing up for a cert, and it prints at exact scale in real millimetres on A4, Letter or any size.
Printing at exact scale
Every sheet is drawn in real millimetres and prints at exact physical scale. For accurate output, set Scale = 100% (Actual size) and Margins = None in your browser's print dialog. Not sure your printer is honest? Run the printer ruler test first to confirm 50 mm really measures 50 mm.
Frequently asked questions

The common command-line tools for files, text, permissions, processes, disk, networking, archives, package management and shell pipes/redirection.

Is it really free?

How do I get an exact-scale print?
Choose your paper size, then in the print dialog set Scale to 100% or “Actual size” and Margins to None. The sheet is defined in real millimetres, so it prints at true size. Use the calibration ruler page to verify.
Which paper sizes are supported?
A4, A5, A3, A6, US Letter, Legal and Tabloid, in portrait or landscape. Pick the size that matches the paper loaded in your printer.
Can I save it as a PDF instead of printing?
Yes — choose “Save as PDF” as the printer in your browser's print dialog. The PDF keeps the exact millimetre dimensions.
