Hello Everyone, my name is Vivek, and I am the maker of CommandHunt.

Problem Statement:

Someone who works on unix/linux system and uses different commands to perform different tasks struggles with below problems.

- Find a specific command which will help to perform a task.

- Understanding the different options provided with the command.

- Maintaining the commands for future use.

- Quickly copying the command.

- Sharing a command within team.

When I was facing these problems I thought of creating an application which will provide a nice graphical interface to help me find and explore a command with all its supported syntax, options and flags.

Solution:

I started working on MVP - commandhunt.com project, which is a web application with nice gui. As the idea evolved, I started implementing more features like - Building a command, storing it for future use, publishing a it.. etc. Below is the list of features offered with the product - commandhunt.com

- Login with social-networks (OAuth providers) such as Google, Facebook and GitHub.

- Easily find a specific command using search input.

- Filtering, sorting and pagination supported.

- Build the command with required values and save it privately to your account.

- Access all the saved commands for future use, filter them based on a keyword.

- Publish a command to share it with others using a public link.

- Copy the command to clipboard with just one click.

- Print the command.

- Responsive user interface.

- Any application link can be bookmarked in the browser.

This application is free for all and can be useful to a large group of users. Be it a DevOps guy, IT support engineer, Administrator, Developer or anyone who deals with commands, can benefit form this application.

I've spent a lot of time and efforts to build this application. I hope you like it.
