# Pro Tips

There are several things you can try when you are unsure how to continue:

* First, if you know a command, but don’t know how to use it, try the manual (man page) by entering man <command>. For example, man ls to learn about the "ls" command. The "man" command also has a manual, try it! When using man, press q to quit (you can also use / and n and N to search).

* Second, if there is no man page, the command might be a shell built-in. In that case use the "help <X>" command. E.g. help cd

* Also, your favorite search-engine is your friend. Learn how to use it! I recommend Google.

* Lastly, if you are still stuck, you can join us via chat
