next: How Git Works!
This is our best-selling zine of all time (probably because so many people struggle with Git ❤). It explains git’s core concepts (commits! branches! merging! remotes!) with minimal jargon and a focus on the actual problems that can ruin your day.

next: Bite Size Linux!
I was still getting started with zines at this point and part of what motivated me to publish this was that I posted a comic about /proc on Twitter and it got 5000 retweets. (/proc is AMAZING)
This is about some of the basic building blocks on Linux (files! signals! system calls!), what's weird about them (buffering!) and how you can inspect them (like with /proc)
It's one of the first zines so it's all handwritten.

next: Bite Size Command Line
This is a reference for the basic Linux command line tools (grep! awk!) with only the command line arguments that I actually use and examples for each one.
I wrote this because I was mad that man pages don't have examples (still am but I made my own in the meantime :) )

next: Bite Size Bash!
I love writing simple bash scripts (you can do so much!) but bash has some weird gotchas. This zine explains all the surprising bash things that have tripped me up.
reading the reader testimonials for this one is always funny to me because they're so positive they feel made up: "I bought this, and in 28 pages it gave me more useful information than my fat Bash books."

Well this is the coolest BYTE archive ever.
The home page, a grid with cover pages down the left side, functions as an infographic that charts the rise and fall of the magazine. (I arrived long after the glory days of 450-page issues.)
"This zoomable map shows every page of every issue of BYTE starting from the front cover of the first issue (top left) to the last page of the final edition (bottom right)."
It is unclear whom to thank for this delightful hack.
