Terminal 101

Meet the black box that looks scary and is secretly friendly. Move around, make files, and feel like a hacker (the good kind).

Lessons

  1. What even is a terminal? (5 min): A text window where you talk to your computer by typing. No clicking, just words.
  2. Moving around (8 min): Three tiny commands, `pwd`, `ls` and `cd`, get you anywhere.
  3. Making and reading files (8 min): Create folders, write a file, read it back, and learn the one command you should respect.
