In the article, Jason Hiner explores the command line interface (CLI) in MacOS, emphasizing its similarity to Linux. He introduces five essential commands for MacOS users, especially beginners, that simplify system management tasks. Among the commands discussed, he highlights how to check available disk space using the 'df' command and manage unresponsive applications using the 'kill' command via SSH. Hiner encourages users to embrace the command line as a versatile tool that enhances computing efficiency, making it easier to perform tasks without relying solely on GUI options.

When you want to find out how much space is left on your hard drive... you could always go to System Settings... Or, you could open the terminal app...
Instead of doing a hard restart, I used SSH to log into the machine, locate the problematic app, kill it from the command line.
Allow me to introduce you to five commands that not only will serve you well but aren't even remotely hard to use.
