Ask: What about starting a new submission type on HN called "CLI: ..."?

I want start a new submission type on HN. Simple one liners for our daily Command line actions. Just to freshen up the memory muscles instead of some boring marketing posts.

Example: CLI: How to upload a file to a server via scp?

Answer: $ scp fileName username@someIp:/target_folder

What do you think?

    I think that sort of thing should be written up as a blog post and the blog post submitted to HN. If the information doesn't justify that much effort and cannot earn sufficient upvotes to make the first few pages, then it isn't really worth posting.

    I would really really really not want my HN polluted with this. Especially when there are dedicated Twitter feeds to exactly stuff like this I can check.

    It looks more like an idea for a new StackExchange site. Questions and Answers.
