learn basics of linux command line
This isn't a library or tool — it's a self-hosted CLI scavenger hunt in Persian, meant to be cloned into your home directory and explored with basic commands (ls, cd, cat, grep, find) until you locate a hidden file called 'titap'. It's aimed squarely at absolute beginners who just learned Linux fundamentals and want a low-stakes place to practice them, not at anyone looking for source code.
The filesystem itself is the lesson — no scripts, grading harness, or dependencies, which is also why GitHub classifies it as 'Roff' (there's effectively no code). It's genuinely safe to break: you copy it locally and can rm, cat, or grep anything without consequences on a real box. The fork-to-star ratio (193 forks vs 228 stars) suggests people actually clone and play it as intended rather than just bookmarking it.
No English documentation at all — outside Persian-speaking beginners, this is unusable, and the README defers to a README.txt that isn't even visible in the tree. There's no difficulty progression or hint system; it's a flat dump of decoy files, so once you grep for 'titap' the puzzle is over and there's nothing left to learn from it. The fake access.log/error.log/syslog files are static text, not realistic log formats, so it won't actually build any log-parsing or awk/sed skills despite looking like it should. It's a single fixed puzzle with no versioning or content updates — the Oct 2025 push doesn't mean the actual game has changed.
