SYNOPSIS
gt [options] [arguments] (non-standard; syntax varies)
DESCRIPTION
'gt' is not a standard Linux command included in coreutils, busybox, or typical distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, or Arch Linux. Running man gt or which gt on standard systems yields no results.
It may refer to:
• A custom alias or script (e.g., for 'git tag').
• Tools from specific packages like GNU Global's gtags (source code tagger).
• Obscure utilities like gt5 (graphical top viewer).
• Shell test operator [ arg1 -gt arg2 ] for 'greater than'.
• Redirection operator > (greater-than symbol).
Verify locally with command -v gt or check installed packages. If from a third-party tool (e.g., Rust-based 'gt' on GitHub), consult its documentation for usage.
CAVEATS
Absent from standard man pages and PATH. May cause 'command not found' error. Avoid assuming availability in scripts.
VERIFICATION TIP
Run apt search gt | grep ^gt (Debian/Ubuntu) or pacman -Ss gt (Arch) to find packages.
COMMON CONFUSION
Often mistaken for shell -gt (numeric greater-than) or > (output redirection).
HISTORY
No official history as a standard command. Possible origins in niche tools or user aliases since early 2000s (e.g., gt5 from 2005). Modern GitHub projects revive 'gt' names for grep/git alternatives.
