The author has released a new zine called "The Secret Rules of the Terminal" that explains how the terminal works and provides tips and tricks for using terminal programs. The author has been using the terminal daily for 20 years but still had many misunderstandings about how it works. The terminal has many tiny inconsistencies, such as sometimes allowing arrow keys to move around and sometimes not. The "rules" for how the terminal works are hard to understand because it's made up of many different pieces of software. The zine explains how the four pieces of the terminal (shell, terminal emulator, programs, and TTY driver) fit together and provides core conventions for how things work in the terminal. The author learned a surprising amount while writing the zine, including how to configure their shell and understand escape codes. The zine is available for purchase as a PDF or print version, and a 15-pack of all the author's zines is also available. The author received help from many people, including a technical reviewer who wrote PuTTY and someone who understands the terminal's inner workings. The print version will ship in August, and the author needs to wait for orders to come in to determine how many to print. The zine is available for $12, and the author hopes it will help readers understand and use the terminal better.
