    Unix command line tutorial for beginners

  • Several years ago, I put on a tutorial workshop for a bunch of truly fresh "never opened Terminal before" beginners that I think was well-received. I don't have a video of it unfortunately (although I think someone did record it), but here is the script I followed: https://github.com/gwerbin/unix-cli-tutorial

    This was a 2-hour seminar with lots of interactive demos and Q&A. I don't think you can provide this kind of information in a cheat sheet. It's a completely different and new way of interacting with your computer for most people nowadays. A good learning resource is one that gives the learner enough context to make sense of what they are doing, but not overwhelming them with unnecessary information... and that's hard to do.
