Quickie lesson on the command line

Updated: 2022-01-11

Main reasons to learn the command-line:

• Some tools are only on the command-line, e.g. youtube-dl
• Sometimes, some actions (downloading a file) need to be done with more options and granularity (e.g. curl -IL)
• Almost everything ends up being (eventually) more efficient as text+commands vs GUI
• You can create reproducible processes without having to do actual programming

Chapters

• quick intro demo notes
• BASICS
• JUST TEXT — text as a universal interface (piping and redirecting)
