This document contains notes for the course Learning Linux Command Line, available on LinkedIn Learning. LinkedIn Premium members can access all LinkedIn Learning courses as a part of their subscription.
I recommend using a Linux PC to follow this course. If you are not able to use a Linux PC, there are some options to consider:
- Use GitHub Codespaces
- Fork this repository to create a copy of it in your own GitHub account
- From your fork, click the Code button and choose Start Codespace
- Commit your modified files to your own fork of the repository in order to save changes
- Set up a virtual machine on your PC using software like VirtualBox
- See Learning VirtualBox for more details
- Use Windows Subsystem for Linux on a Windows 10 or 11 system
- See Learning Windows Subsystem for Linux for more details
Note: macOS is not Linux. macOS uses Zsh by default, not Bash, and it has a different set of core utilities. Some items shown in the course will differ or will not work if you're following along using macOS.
Note: Some Linux distributions, like Alpine Linux, use a different shell and include different core utilities.
