Command line 101 - cogeorg/teaching GitHub Wiki

Navigating the command line is essential to master many tools we’ll use in this course. We’ll look at using the command line for (i) writing and deploying shell scripts (ii) interacting with a remote server and (iii) using git

You are expected to be familiar with using the command line (or terminal) to navigate around your PC and some basic functionality, such as adding files and folders, deleting things etc. Familiarity is key and will become important once you begin to interact with a server, later in the course.

  • A good place to start is always Codecademy
  • As you use the command line more frequently, you’ll get used to the syntax, but cheatsheets are also helpful, see here and here.
