    A quick note for people using Catalina: the esc + esc list-command doesn't work anymore. The way it works now, is that you put in the specific first letter of the command you look for, e.g., a or y, and press Tab twice. The terminal will show you all the commands starting with the character of choice.

    This is wonderful seeing both the back end and front end comparisons. Clarifies a lot on using command prompts with Linux, Mac, and Win platforms. Thank you! Hope to see similar videos like this with other commands.

    Thank you for sharing this, it's a great into to Mac OS terminal! Are you going to be doing an advanced level tutorial like this as well? It seems like there are a lot of people who make vids for Mac terminal and just stop at the basics, it would be great to see some more in-depth functionality on such a powerful tool.

    for people who cannot do esc esc, just put this cmd in terminal "bash" it will change the language to bash and the esc esc thing will work!

    Thank you so much. I assume I had an issue with authorisations on my Macbook, as when executing the command "rm -r test" in the desktop directory the first time, I was asked if I really wanted to delete the folder on desktop, but the second time I made a test folder and deleted it, I wasn't asked again. Where do I see which authorisations I have?

    @ready2fry 1st of which! You have a super dope name but do you know how to navigate Mac to find documents that haven't saved and are not backed up? An for Mac's operating on 10.11-12 are there any updated Terminal key strokes or anything I should be aware of? Because I see that you are very thorough and you have helped a few people out. I just want to talk to someone knowledgeable other than watching these Terminal videos and nothing really working for me to locate highly classified documents? An again, super dope name lmao.

    hi, my terminal is gone. all I can see is :
    "Last login: Tue May 5 08:29:01 on ttys007
    [İşlem tamamlandı]". (it means "job completed")
    I was making sth about bash profile and trying to save sth, I think i did sth wrong and terminal is not responding now, whatever I push. how can I fix it. even apple doesnt know, I called them.
    on the top, its written that " Terminal -- java_home --bash 80X24" and " Terminal -- bash --bash 80X24 " its trying to command sth. its blinking for like 2 minutes and then stops. it turns to just " Terminal 80X24 "
    thank you very much..

    The guy is teaching you wrong. Command 'cd .. ' DOES NOT bring you to the ROOT directory. It brings you one directory UP. Typing 'cd' without DOT DOT brings you to the your 'home' ... which could be the ROOT directory too.
