Introduction to the Bash Shell on Mac OS and Linux
This course introduces you to the basic concepts and commands you need to start using Bash on Linux and Mac OS X.
What you'll learn
The command line is one of the most important tools for a Linux/UNIX power user. Bash is the default login shell on Linux and Mac OS, and adding it to your skillset will open up a whole new world of possibilities. For one thing, it gives you access to a huge number of command line utilities, simplifying many everyday tasks. But Bash also provides you with a powerful scripting language for automating just about anything. For remote access and system administration, Bash is an absolute must.
