This introductory course was very useful and I loved how visually is well structured. Actually, bash is so useful for any project. TY for this vid.

I bought an entire course on Udemy to learn linux and bash scripting and this was so incredibly clear and straightforward in comparison. Really appreciate how easily Herbert broke down bash scripting and I hope you have more courses on the FCC channel.

This is an excellent Bash primer. Thank you @Herbertech for creating this and for sharing this with the global developer community. 🙏

This entire course is like an entire semester condensed into less than one hour, impressive!

[kaustavchakrabarti]

This has been my first online coding course and I really enjoyed the session. The language was very comprehensive and audience friendly.

[ayushkapoor]

The video is so well structured. Half way through the video but couldn't stop myself from appreciating the efforts that have been put up for making this.

[mhmdmd]

I really liked it and enjoyed, it was an fantastic course. Short but contained more valuable information about bash.
thank you so much.

Que bueno que estén incluyendo diferentes pistas de audio en su vídeos, esta genial!

[ssmith]

Hey, nice tutorial-I had to smile when you mentioned Atom as an option for a text editor. I still have a copy installed, but was surprised you mentioned it since it has been discontinued.

[anandprakash]

Excellent ! Watched and practiced all commands in one go. This bash primer only requires very basic linux knowledge beforehand.

[abiodunbabalola]

Wow. What a great course! This is by far the best bash scripting on the internet.

[Markus-iqsm]

One of the best starter bash video on YouTube

[muyivushafiq]

If you had some programming background, this must have been an awesome tutorial for you. I've enjoyed this. Thanks to FCC and Instructor!

[iandotjs]

Been waiting for this. Thank you so much, FCC! 🤘

43:00 I think sed and awk (and grep) are specially useful when piped after some output. It would be useful to see examples of that usage.

[funkyboy]

Completed the lecture, and yes it was amazing, hoping to see more such lectures. ✌✌✌✌

[BrunO-dyro]

This literally came right when i needed it, thank you so much.

[rachit_joshi]

thank you so much. it was an amazing experience learning bash scripting with the amazing mentor here !!!

Great video! To make it even better I'd suggest that you
a) add "\r\n" to your PS1 variable so that your typing always starts at the left margin instead of somewhere far out on the right
b) use a more readable color scheme - dark blue on black is pretty well unreadable
