Is there a comprehensive list of the commands available in the geth terminal anywhere?
(eg. miner.start(), eth.accounts, admin.nodeInfo, etc.)

By running geth and entering the start of each of the global objects I'm aware of I can get the following lists, but I won't mark this as the correct answer as I'm sure there is documentation out there somewhere.

JSON RPC section in the official geth documentation looks like the most complete API overview at the end of 2022: geth.ethereum.org/docs/rpc/server Nov 12, 2022 at 6:14
You can check the management APIs
You can find the commands and details at Geth github wiki page. It explains commands with examples and details under three main categories.
for eg. under Examples of Interactive use in managing accounts you can see
$ geth account new

For interactions with JavaScript console, Javascript API Reference will be useful.

Top level objects are:

Objects
eth,admin,personal, andminerare the only top level objects I'm aware of. I want to know if there are more. And I'd like to see the document of all of the properties of each.
