Combining commands

Introduction to Linux command line Concepts and Basic commands in Linux Combining commands

Combining commands is done using the | symbol. The symbol is called a pipe and it can send the output of one tool as input to another tool. There’s no restriction on the number of tools: you can happily pipe along, combining as many tools as you want:
command1 | command2 | command3 | ....

Practice a bit more on your own computer:
Open Replit, go to Recipies, combine soup, mussels and dessert and view the last 10 lines of the combination but this time using a pipe.
