I want to learn CLI just by doing the things I usually do using GUI. Is there a way to see the equivalent commands?

For example in Excel, you can record a macro and see the VBA equivalent code of what you are doing, even as you are doing it.

How about in Windows, or in any OS for that matter?

In the any other OS category, you'll be happy if you ever try IBM AIX. AIX has a tool called SMIT which can operate in graphical mode, but which provides the command line equivalent for every operation it performs. It's a shame there aren't similar tools for non-niche operating systems.

Good idea but it isn't out there yet it seems. That would be useful but it's kind of like having a Spanish interpreter: too much help can make trial-and-error seem like a really attractive option.
