Welcome!

This tutorial is intended to give you an overview of Linux and basic shell commands.

The shell is a program that takes commands and gives them to the Operating System (OS) to perform.

You can interact with the shell using a program called terminal emulator, “terminal” for short.

How much shell experience do you have? We’d like to know. Click this link to take part in a very short survey (1 question).
