Learn basics of the shell, a program that accepts keyboard input and passes it to OS via a terminal emulator, including the prompt and date under root versus regular users.
Master the cd command to navigate Linux directories, separating absolute paths from relative paths. Identify the present working directory and move up with .., using dot and tab autocomplete.
Learn to use mkdir to create directories, such as first year, second year, and third year, and use touch to create files, then list contents with ls.
Master the ls command to list files and directories, view details with -l, sort by time with -t, reverse with -r, and reveal hidden files with -a.
Learn how the cp and mv commands copy, move, and rename files, create and relocate files in directories, and view contents with cat or head and tail.
The date command displays the day of the week, current date, timestamp, and time zone. Use -d for a specific date and format with %Y, %M, and week numbers.
Learn how to delete files and directories in Linux using the remove command, including -i for confirmation and -R for recursive deletion with -F.
Master the split command to divide a large file into smaller parts by a specified byte size, as shown with a four-part example using new file names.
Master head and tail to view file contents from the start or end, using head -n for lines, head -c for bytes, and tail -f for live updates.
Learn to use the pipe to pass output between commands, enabling chaining like ls -lta | tail -n 5; use more to paginate long logs.
Learn how wildcards in linux work, including star, question mark, and bracket patterns, and apply them in shell commands to match, filter, and count files efficiently.
In this course you will get to know about basic commands about Linux such as ls ,mv,split,tail,head etc . We will also learn about shell script such as loops and how to think about that. New lectures will be added as the time progress . This course will get you familiar with all the unix basics that you need to keep with current IT standards . This course is structured in such a way that will keep you intrested . It will be a small course but it would contain all the inforamtion that you will be needing .
