In this workshop, we’ll explore the bash shell together. bash is the most common shell for the Linux command line interface. We will also learn about some core concepts of Linux/Unix systems. The goal is to learn how to find your way around the system using the shell, how to interact with files and processes in the shell and how to combine simple commands to solve a more complex task. After the workshop, you will be able to interpret shell snippets commonly found on the internet and words like ‚pipe‘ and ‚fork‘ will have an additional meaning to you.
Additionally, we will have a few of the wonderful Wizard Zines by Julia Evans lying around on using the command line and bash, if you want to dig deeper.
