🐧 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 – 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 When learning Linux, the command line can feel intimidating at first. But once you start practising, you realise it’s incredibly powerful. Here are some of the commands I’ve been using daily: ✅ ls – lists files and directories ✅ cd – changes directory ✅ mkdir – creates a new directory ✅ touch – creates an empty file ✅ rm – removes a file or directory ✅ cp – copies files ✅ mv – moves or renames files Each command can be customised with options and arguments. For example: ls -la lists all files (including hidden ones) in long format. The more you use them, the more natural it feels. These small building blocks are the start of mastering the terminal. #Linux #Bash #DevOps #SystemAdministrator #Azure #CloudComputing #ShellScripting #OpenSource #Automation #InfrastructureAsCode #DevOpsEngineer #FollowMeForMore #CommandLine #Unix
