So many developers go years before understanding the basics of shells, terminals, and Linux (or more generally Unix-like systems). Here you'll learn to navigate files and directories, install dependencies, configure your PATH, and use powerful CLI tools like grep, find, and pipes. Never fear the command line again, make it fear you.

Syllabus

  • The Command Line — Learn how to use a CLI, and why text-based interfaces are so powerful.
  • Filesystems — Learn how to navigate a filesystem, and how to create, move, and delete files and directories.
  • Programs — Practice the ins and outs of executing programs and scripts from the command line and understand your PATH
  • Input/Output — Learn how to use command line flags, arguments, and connect the stdin and stdout of programs to create modular automations
  • Local CLI — Move onto your own machine and cover everything the browser couldn't: a real terminal and WSL, manual pages, interactive pagers, live processes, and real users, root, and sudo.
  • Permissions — Learn how to use permissions to control access to files and directories.
  • Editors and Packages — Learn how to use package managers like Homebrew, APT and Webi to install and manage software, and set up your development environment.
