This tutorial lets you learn the basics of the Linux command line. You can learn commands to navigate directories, manipulate files and start other programs. If you have no previous experience with Unix-like systems or know a few commands but would like to know more, this tutorial is for you.
This tutorial was prepared for Ubuntu Linux, but it works on MacOS, Cygwin and the Git bash as well, given that Python 3 is installed on your system.
