Great high-level review of the ‘less‘ command. I have not used ‘less‘ in a while and – after reading this I am planning to use it much more. (pun intended).
Thanks for the comments afterward. It is nice to get a different perspective from other users!

One of the things I like about less command is that you can jump to the bottom of a file by typing an uppercase "G" -- and just as quickly jump to the beginning of the file by typing a lowercase "g". Combined with the -N option, it gives you a quick, interactive means of inspecting the contents of a file and counting lines. There are about a million commands you can use in less... typing a lowercase "h" in-program will display a lengthy help file.

A little mistake at the beginning of 4th line under “Learn Linux ‘less’ Command”
