#### Command line 101: What's the deal with directories?

**Thursday February 5 2026, 11AM - 12PM**

Is this your first time sitting down typing commands into the command line or logging into the Cannon cluster to do your analysis? In this one hour seminar, we'll show you how files and directories are organized on the cluster, give tips on how to manage your own project directories, and more. You'll learn how to navigate a file system using the command line (aka the terminal), understand file permissions, and write files using the nano file editor. This seminar is suitable for absolute beginners to command line and cluster usage.

#### Command line 101: Tips & tricks for aspiring power users

**Thursday February 12 2026, 11AM - 12PM**

Now that you know how to move around the cluster, let's explore how to customize your command line experience. You'll learn about using dotfiles to automatically run things upon login, save and search your command history, use terminal multiplexers like screen, and more. If you plan to spend a good amount of time running programs on the command line, this seminar will save you effort and make your experience smoother!

**Thursday February 19 2026, 11AM - 12PM**

In this seminar, we will cover topics and allow you to seamlessly move between your local environment to the cluster computer environment by using tools like VSCode and various file transfer applications. Geared towards both beginner and intermediate users, students will learn how to use apps to help them program and process data like a pro.
