What will you learn?
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.

Quite Good. Commands hard to memorise as are argument order, but that's normal for learning something new.

:(){ :|:& };: Excellent course! I like that it is multi-platform and essentially shits on Microsoft (they deserve it). All hail macOS/Linux! (not you, Microslop!)
