Working with files. Viewing, creating, copying, moving, linking and finding files; editing with vim.
The shell. Expansions, redirection and pipes, variables, history and startup files.
Permissions. Owners, groups and modes, and how to read a permission error.
Processes. Seeing what's running, signals, and background and foreground jobs.
Shell scripting. Writing small Bash scripts that automate daily tasks.
Archives, remote work and packages. tar, ssh and copying files between machines; installing software with the package manager.
Users, groups and networking basics. Managing users and groups; checking addresses, ports and connectivity.
Team cohorts can add or drop modules, agreed on the first call. Taught live by Pushpjeet Cholkar, with room to interrupt mid-lab.
