I enjoy using gitahed, and I would like to add a shortcut to lauch it, with github desktop I use github-desktop, but I can do the same with GA?
How can I launch gitahed from terminal?
GitAhead has a Terminal panel at Tools->Options. It has a button to install command line tools. It really just creates a symlink to the GitAhead binary in /usr/local/bin. If that doesn't work for some reason, you can create the symlink yourself or an alias. See command line options by running with the --help flag. There are only a few at the moment.

I am attempting to install RetroPie as an app on Raspbian Stretch and I am done except for creating a desktop shortcut for it. The problem is that the only way to open RetroPie seems to be running a command in the command line. I can’t do it in terminal because it gives me an error saying that it can’t initialize the window. Is there a way to run a command line command as a shortcut or am I going to have to find another way of doing this?
P.S. Here is the tutorial that I followed to install RetroPie:

Probably your shell (on the raspberry) is GNU bash. So read the manual of GNU bash.
You probably want (once) to edit some Bash startup file (such as ~/.bashrc) to define functions and aliases there, and you could add executable shell scripts somewhere in your $PATH. I recommend having a $HOME/bin/ directory containing your scripts and executables, and have $HOME/bin/ early in your $PATH.
I can’t do it in terminal because it gives me an error saying that it can’t initialize the window.
Perhaps you need some display server (such as Xorg or Wayland) running (with a desktop environment or a window manager). You could run Xorg on your PC (on which you could install Linux) and connect to the raspberry using ssh -X then remote applications running on your Raspberry are displayed on your PC. IF your Raspberry is directly connected to a screen (via HDMI) you might run some Xorg server on it.
Is there a way to run a command line command as a shortcut
Yes, by making a shell alias or shell function or shell script. You need to understand how they work and change or create some appropriate file using some source code editor (I recommend GNU emacs, but the choice is yours and you might use any other editor such as vim, gedit, etc...): functions and aliases could be defined in your ~/.bashrc; shell scripts would usually have their own file with a shebang under your $HOME/bin/...
Is there a way to run npm commands from Sublime?
For instance, if I wanted to run npm install angular-ui-grid on the current folder in Sublime, how would I do that?
I've looked at posts that say I can build with Node in Sublime, but I don't think that means I can run npm install as if I was in a terminal.
I know you can run a Python terminal from Sublime with Ctrl+`, and you can open a command window at the current location, but is there any way to combine the two?
NOTE: Looking for a Windows cmd or powershell terminal.
I guess, you are looking for TerminalView
This is a Linux/macOS plugin for Sublime Text 3 that allows for terminals inside editor views. The plugin uses a pseudo-terminal to start the underlying shell which means it supports
Interactive applications
Auto-completion
Terminal shortcuts (ctrl+c, etc.)
Password prompt etc.
You can get this package here,

Hope this helps!
I was watching a speedy workflow tutorial about Atom text editor, and saw how the guy uses Linu commands like ls (to check the files in the directory), touch (to create files eg. style.css) and mkdir (to create folders). Now in my Atom editor I am able to open the command line using the following command.
CTRL + SHIFT + T
Now in my command line the default windows command line opens up, I am able to create folder using mkdir, but the commands touch and ls don't work, which makes me wonder weather Atom has its own command line?
See the SCREENSHOT to see how this guy is creating folders, files and using the ls command.
So my question is, how do I create files in Atom? How do I get the touch command to work?
It looks like the tutorial is using the Term2 package for opening a shell within the editor (http://code.tutsplus.com/courses/speedy-workflows-with-atom/lessons/term2). Since you seem to be able to open a terminal using the described screenshot, you seem to have the Term2 package installed - so far so good.
This package opens a standard command window within the editor. The tutorial seems to be using Linux or Mac OS X as the operating system. If you're running Windows, you will only have the Windows CMD interpreter available.
Windows does not natively support the touch command (but it has a mkdir command). There is a unxtools project that provides some of the common Gnu tools. If you install that, you should be able to run touch from the Windows command shell as well. More details can be found here.
I want to install some softwares such as notepad++, safari etc in silent mode using command prompt. And my OS is win2k8r2.
I placed two executables npp.6.3.3.Installer.exe and SafariStup 4.2.exe in a folder in c drive and used command line arguments as below..
c:\AllFiles>npp.6.3.3.Installer.exe -s
it executes, but shows dialog boxes that was not expected.Please help...
Each program is going to be different, some don't even support silent installations. From command line if you do yourfile.exe /? it should tell you available options.
For Notepad++, I recommend simply downloading the ZIP package (not the EXE installer), unpacking it to the desired location, and adding a Start Menu shortcut.
You don't need to install it per se.
We are working on a kiosk mode in Linux Ubuntu. We would like to define a shortcut by command line (bash script). Is this possible? We would like to setup our kiosk mode automatically by a bash script. So creating a new shortcut via Compiz isn't possible.
Any ideas?
The shortcuts usually depend on the window manager you're using. If you're using Ubuntu you should have Gnome as default windomanager so you could use the Gnome Control Center to set the shortcuts you want.
Another way, is use a tool like Xbindkeys which is indipendent from the window manager and reads the key configuration from a simple text file usually ~/.xbindkeysrc.
So you could install Xbindkeys in your system with:
sudo apt-get install xbindkeys
Then in the bash script you could add a new entry in the ~/xbindkeysrc config file to add your shortcut.
