Hi everyone, i am sharing some useful information of the Bash Terminal with important beginner friendly commands.
What is the shell?
Character User Interface: The Shell, is available on nearly all platforms, nearly all are roughly the same: they allow you to run programs, give them input, and inspect their output in a semi-structured way.
Here we focus on Bash Shell
Some useful commands -
side:~$ date
Wed 09 Sep 2020 with the current time will be displayed
side:~$ echo hello
hello
side:~$ echo $PATH
$PATH is an environment variable that lists which directories the shell should search for programs when it is given a command
side:~$ which echo
Finds out which file is executed for a given program
side:~$ pwd
Gives the present working directory
side:~$ cd /home
Change directory to home
a path that starts with / is an absolute path.
Any other path is a relative path.
side:~$ cd ..
Changes 🔙 to the previous directory
side:~$ ls
Gives what is present inside the directory
side:~$ ls -l
This one gives us more information about each file or directory present
Most important to remember
side:~$ man ls
man command gives you the manual pages for a certain program in this case the ls command.
What commands would you like to add here?
