TEACHJOVE(1)

💖 TEACHJOVE(1) 💖

okay bestie, come sit with me — this is teachjove, straight outta section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and it's literally your ✨onboarding era✨ for the JOVE editor.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

teachjove — learn how to use the JOVE editor 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

teachjove [ -s sharedir ]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. TEACHJOVE (or TEACHJOV if you're out here living that MSDOS life 💀) is a lil program that does one iconic thing: it calls up the JOVE editor with the -T option, which loads an interactive tutorial for JOVE. That's it, that's the whole vibe.

Once you're in JOVE, you literally just follow the instructions, and by doing that you will learn all about JOVE! no cap, it's giving hand-holding but in a cute way 🫶

⚠️ NOTE: if you use the save-file command (or the keystrokes Control-X Control-S), TEACHJOVE saves a copy of the tutorial in your home directory. So if you ever wanna start over (like, say, you saved a trashed file by accident 😭🙈), all you gotta do is remove the file ~/teach-jove and run teachjove again. boom. fresh start. 💅

TEACHJOVE passes switches to Jove, though some may not be meaningful for the tutorial. One that may be useful:

• -s sharedir — lets you specify the directory where the special teach-jove file can be found (default /usr/share/jove). 🍓

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /usr/share/jove/teach-jove — THE special file. 👑
