{{intro|
There are a number of common command line operations that are performed by users of all skill levels in the {{project_name_short}} environment. This wiki page is intended to serve as a quick and handy reference guide for locating these, but it is not a substitute for reading relevant wiki entries that provide detailed instructions for various activities. <ref>
This entry has been inspired by the relatively unknown <code>
{{project_name_short_lowercase}}</code> command, which already lists common {{project_name_short}} command line operations.
</ref> Additional, useful commands will be added here over time.
