What's your most-used terminal trick nobody taught you?

Hi, everyone :slight_smile:

Today (25th May 2026), I’ve “invented” a small but cute “command trick” to run in terminal. As far as I remember, nobody taught it to me (although I’m sure there must be plenty of people in the World who already - and independently - have had the same idea). To see a clock being updated every second, type the following command:

watch -n 1 date

(When you get tired of watching the clock, press Ctrl + C to exit)
