New Video Class: Introduction to the Command Line

Command Line Class
Command Line Class

Before there were Windows or Mac machines on your desktop, there was the command line. If you wanted to look at the directory structure of your computer or see hidden files, you could type a simple command into the terminal window.

With today’s GUI interfaces, the command line may not seem as important. But if you want to manage a remote computer like a VPS or a dedicated web server, the command line can be incredibly helpful.

In this class, Brian takes us on a tour of the command line, giving us the basics we need to find our way around. This course is foundational for server management and Git.
