This is a really amazing guide for beginners looking to learn about using the command line. I'll be sharing this to anyone who needs help with the terminal.

Hidden assumption: if you're on Linux or BSD, you don't need this video. :D

Probably fair enough. :P

I installed Alpine Linux without a window manager on an old computer for a cheap home-lab start and run straight on tty. Very easy to work with when I ssh into it with my phone or my laptop.

Great beginner explanation. I'll definitely us this for my students.

The real challenge for me, moving to an intermediate stage, is getting intuitive with the stdin, stdout, and stderr and how to pipe things and understanding how commands or shell-scripts or binaries receive/send that info to each other. I don't like the "everything is a string" environment because it messes with my data-type managment I'm used to as a data analyst. Watching a simple Assembly tutorial helped me a little bit because it demonstrated the stdin, stout, and stderr are registers and you set the values at those addresses. Still a noob overall though.

A terminal guide for dummies. Sometimes the most simple tasks are the most difficult ones.
