# Command reminders
`commands.tsv` is the manually curated source for Bash's command reminder.
It is not an inventory of every installed executable.
Each non-empty line contains three tab-separated fields:
```text
reminder command description
```
- `reminder` must be `yes` or `no`. `yes` includes the command in the shell
reminder; `no` keeps it available only in the full listing.
- `command` is the name entered at the shell.
- `description` is a brief explanation displayed by `commands`.
The data file deliberately has no header or comments. Blank lines are allowed;
put explanatory material in this README instead. Duplicate commands, unknown
reminder values and malformed rows are reported as errors.
Run `commands` to display every entry. To add or remove something from the
shell reminder, edit only its `reminder` field; do not duplicate the command
list in shell configuration.
