You are learning how to use the Linux command line, but you’re feeling lost?
Or, you’re already a Linux user and want a quick refresher of the basics?
And you prefer to learn by doing, with teaching material inspired from real life experience? → This Linux command line course 2.0 is for you.
No need to know anything about Linux to get started. I will start from zero and even provide instructions to install a Linux OS on a virtual machine, if you don’t have access to a Linux machine yet.
This course works on any Linux system: Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, and… MacOS! Yes, MacOS is actually based on Linux. The core concepts are the same for all Linux versions, with maybe just a few differences in the commands that I’m going to explain.
→ Why this course?
Well, learning the Linux command line can be quite confusing at best. I experienced that on my own, when I got my first Linux lessons in school. I just didn’t get it, and I just didn’t see the point of using all those complicated commands to complete exercises that I wasn’t going to use in real life anyway.
At first I was lost and kind of demotivated about it. But after a few professional experiences (web/mobile development, server administration and automation, robotics), I started to get a good grasp on the Linux terminal, and more importantly, I started to really understand why I need it and why it’s super powerful. Now, whenever I use a Linux OS, I just remove almost all graphical tools and open the terminal for everything.
So here, I’ve put all my years of Linux experience into this course, with a strong focus on understanding what you’re doing, and why you’re doing it – basically what was lacking in my own education.
My goal is that you can get a strong Linux command line foundation quickly, in just a few hours, and maybe avoid being confused for a few months/years before really “getting it”.
This Linux command line foundation will help you for anything IT related: web or software development, data science, machine learning, robotics, system administration, etc. This is the building block you need to go in any other direction.
And there are many things that look fancy but are a waste of time, especially when you begin. So I’m going to teach you what I really use personally. No need to learn 150 commands to get started. With just a few ones and a good understanding, you can go a long way.
