Almost all tutorials, courses or guides online assume that you know what it is and what you have to do with those commands they give to you, so they never teach you what it is or how it works.
This doesn't go deep, but it's a great start, and for that, thank you very much!

How smooth, easy to follow, and clear your explanation is!
I really appreciate good educators like you.

Hello Matt, I’m very new to this and I’m curious…why would you want to use a command line rather than a GUI tho ?
