Linux Command Line Basics

Description

The Linux terminal rewards anyone who learns a small set of commands, and this course teaches that set from the beginning. It starts with using the terminal and moving around the file system, then covers essential file operations and file permissions and ownership.

Later lessons deal with text files and editors, system information and process management, user accounts, and search and filter commands. The last lessons introduce basic shell scripting, network commands, system maintenance, advanced file manipulation and real-world scenarios. Exercises in most lessons are meant to be typed into your own terminal.

Who it is for: beginners who want to use the Linux terminal confidently.
