Computing from the Command Line

This book aims to teach Linux command line tools and Shell Scripting for beginner to intermediate level users. The focus is towards managing your files and performing text processing tasks. Topics like system administration and networking won't be discussed, but some details might get covered in future versions of this book. Visit https://youtu.be/PS5XEemn164 for a short video about the book.

The book also includes exercises to test your understanding, which is presented together as a single file in this repo — exercises.md

For solutions to the exercises, see exercise-solutions.md.

See Version_changes.md to keep track of changes made to the book.

Testimonials

Ive only gotten through first pages but appears a good Unix/bash primer. I’ll probably recommend for new hires out of bootcamp because they’re usually weak here
