The Unix Command Line
A compassionate guide to the terminal
About the Book
Have you been intimidated by the terminal? Are you letting your discomfort with the command line interfere with your professional development? Getting stuck figuring out why terminal programs don't work the way you expect?
This book is designed to help beginner and intermediate programmers alike find a deep sense of comfort and control when they open the terminal. We help you:
- Demistify the terminal, by helping you understand the PATH, pipes, and BASH
- Make the terminal your new home, by helping you customize the information and presentation.
- Discover the powerful tools built into every Mac or Linux computer.
