Shell Workshop

About this Course

This course is intended to get you up to speed on the shell — using a terminal, managing files and directories, and running command-line programs.

[

Although the Unix shell has an “old school” feel, it remains an important skill, due to the incredible popularity of Unix-like systems: The majority of web servers in the world today run on Linux, and the same bash command line is shipped with every Mac computer.

Using the shell is a prerequisite for many other developer skills including version control (such as git) and deployment.
