Course Description

Linux Command Line for Beginners: Navigate, Search, and Automate Simple Tasks is a practical ebook course in Information Technology focused on essential IT Tools skills you can use immediately. If you are new to Linux or want to feel confident in the terminal, this course helps you understand what you are doing as you type commands, so you can work faster, troubleshoot common issues, and manage files without relying on a graphical interface.

You will get comfortable with the Linux command line by learning how to move through the Linux file system using cd, ls, and pwd, and how to create, copy, move, and remove files and folders safely. You will also learn how to view and inspect file contents directly from the terminal, which is invaluable for checking logs, configs, and data files in real-world IT environments.

As you progress, you will practice permissions and ownership, including read, write, and execute, so you can fix access problems and understand why commands fail. You will build strong search skills with grep and related tools to filter text, find patterns, and extract useful information from large outputs. You will also learn pipes and redirection to combine commands into efficient command line workflows that save time and reduce repetitive work.

To support everyday productivity, the course introduces editing basics with Nano for quick fixes and safe changes on servers or remote systems. You will then take your first steps into simple automation with shell scripts, turning routine tasks into repeatable processes. Mini projects reinforce the learning with daily-use scenarios, and a Linux command line cheat sheet helps you retain core commands and syntax.
