Linux & the Terminal, from Zero

A plain-English guide to the Linux command line from the ground up — why the terminal beats clicking, what the shell actually is, navigating the filesystem, working with files, composing tools with pipes and redirection, permissions and sudo, processes and ports, reaching servers over SSH, and reading logs to debug what you can’t see. The toolkit every engineering role assumes.
