Beginner's UNIX/Linux Commandline

Beginner's UNIX/Linux Commandline

Jun 17, 2021

I went back over this video today to include timestamps/chapters for each command (may edit this later on to include more details on commands - or create new posting dedicated to that).

Check out the followup post including an easy to install "cheatsheet command" you may summon anytime for a quick, easy reference here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/politictech/linux-beginning-cheatsheet-command-picture

I felt this was an important video for newer users and only included what I felt most efficient for getting started with Linux commandline.

(The video description has the links to each chapter for the timestamps listed below)
