Thought I would share this for anybody looking to learn how to use terminal/command line.

It's a fantastic guide from Floss Manuals and is pretty in depth!

Enjoy! http://write.flossmanuals.net/command-line/

I would like to download a decent pdf or epub manual for both scripts and BASH but the link Matthew_Wai gave needs registration information I cannot give as I'm both retired and not in the USA. Can anyone help :?:
Take care,
Phil.

Minimize your therbligs until it becomes automatic;
this doubles your effective lifetime – and thereby gives time to enjoy

Hi, Phil.

You should not be too sad that you cannot enter the required registration just to get in epub form basics about the Linux commandline, which are publically available for free elsewhere?

Maybe try this webiste, http://write.flossmanuals.net/command-line/, instead. Even though it has to be read online.
Or wait, you can find download links, format PDF and EPub, here: http://flossmanuals.net/ => http://archive.flossmanuals.net/_booki/ ... -line.epub e.g.

When I started I watched a course called Lynda's Linux: Bash Shell and Scripts
Very clear and understandable.
I think here is where I got it from: https://www.onlinefreecourse.net/lynda/ ... -download/
If you think the issue is solved, edit your original post and add the word solved to the title.
