Abstract

Why should coders have all the fun? The command line isn't just for programming wizards—it’s a magic box of tools that can supercharge how you tackle large documentation projects. In this talk, we’ll demystify the command line and share how to use it for wrangling text and images with ease. You’ll learn about regular expressions, how to chain single-purpose commands into clever pipelines, and tricks to manage complex project structures. From handling vast text files in various formats to taming sprawling docs projects, this session is packed with practical tricks to make your work a little easier and more magical. Recommended for anyone managing the written word at a scale that’s outgrown a single file, and who has a readiness to unleash your inner CLI magician!
