Learn the Command Line

Most of the coding I do is for analyzing data for my research projects. However, I wrote several programs to help introduce my undergraduate and graduate students to the Linux command line. These are useful if you're running Linux or have access to a Linux machine and the Bash shell.

Instructions for downloading and using the scripts above are on the GitHub repo: Learn the Command Line.

• learn-the-cli is an interactive Bash script that walks users through a set of common commands and lets them practice the commands.
• learn-the-cli-module is a modification of the above program that allows users to select specific sections to practice.
• learn-the-filesystem is an interactive Bash Script that builds off the learn-the-cli script but focuses on navigating the Linux directory tree and learning the differences between absolute and relative paths.
• flashcards is a modified shell script that helps users memorize a set of common commands. This comes with a cards.csv file containing the data for the script.
