    Literally this guy is a champion. My College Professor makes no sense, this guy just taught me 2 classes worth of stuff I couldn't understand in 19 minutes. Very clear concise, easy to understand. Cant thank you enough! Showing us the visual in the GUI so we can see what we are doing with each command was very helpful. The added tip of "file and directory can be used interchangeably" also really helped. I was very lost in my classes as my professor explained nothing clearly and kept saying file and directory but I was like "what is the difference?" Thank you so much!

    ls ( list content of current directory )
    pwd ( print working directory )
    cd ( used for navigation )
    cd.. ( back to previous direcrtory )
    cd/ ( back to root directory )
    cp ( copy files )
    rm ( remove file)
    mkdir (make new directory )
    rmdir (remove directory)
    rm-r folder name (to delete non empty folder)
    clear (clears the terminal screen)
    man ls (displays the manual for any command that can be run in terminal)

    As a beginner, this was a very helpful video for me. I am currently in a Intro to Linux class at my college, and you provided info that wasn't in the introductory chapter of my course. The information in this video really helped me better understand how the Linux terminal and its commands work. You broke everything down so well, and made everything perfectly clear. I appreciate the fact that you tried so hard to make this clear, so it is very difficult for someone to get lost. Thanks so much!

    I have a job interview coming up on which I am expected to know some Linux. This quick video was extremely informative. Did make a little sleepy but I think that was me.
    Important commands :
    pwd - print working directory (see where you are)
    cd - check directory (see what you have)cd "specific folder" - go into a specific folder in directory
    ls - list of everything in current directory
    cd .. - go back one step to what you were working on prior
    rm - remove file
    clear - clear commandscp - copy file
    cd/ - return to root directory
    mkdir - make new folder
    rmdir - remove folder
    man ls - provides extra information and detail for everything within the directory
    man cp - provides extra information and detail about copying
    everything is case sensitive in linux
    folder and directory essentially mean the same thing.

    My college course did not even show us the GUI and CLI side by side. I felt I was learning Linux blindly with no visuals. The course included TEST OUT and the modules each week were numerous (some even about 99 modules or assignments a week). It felt impossible to get through, yet even more impossible to memorize and understand simultaneously. This video alone taught me way more than TEST OUT ever did. I have to redo the course this upcoming term, and hopefully I will understand it much better because of you. So thank you so much, sir.

    When you're at the beginner level "I don't know what directory means"

    • @martinkuliza
      @martinkuliza 3 роки тому +12

      Directory means "FOLDER"
      a Folder is a thing in a computer in which YOU STORE FILES
      You can't store files in other files
      so... a DIRECTORY LOCATION is a location in your computer where you have stored a file or files
      so you have your PHYSICAL C: DRIVE (Your hard drive) ok
      and lets say you store a text file (.txt) called "TEST"
      it looks like this
      c:\ test
      so because you have not created any folders and just thrown the text file in the hard drives MAIN LOCATION we all this the ROOT DIRECTORY
      and then everything SUB to the root directory is called a SUB-DIRECTORY
      so if you made a folder called "folder_1" and put the text file in it
      it would look like this
      c:\folder_1 (this is the root directory level)
      \test.txt (this is the second directory level)
      it would be written like this
      c:\folder_1\test.txt
      whenever you see a slah \ it means you are going into a folder or directory level down
      so if we go 3 sub directories deep and called the next folder folder 2 it would look like this
      c:\folder_1 (Root directory level)
      \folder_2 ( 2nd Directory level)
      \test.txt (3rd directory level )
      Directories are folder's simple as that

So not just Torvalds, there was Richard Stallman, Ian Murdock, Brian Fox, etc... Also the video was inconsistent about key Linux facts (namely concerning Distros)...

    Its always nice to go back to basics. Some of the issues I had was the "need" to jump into the deep end and learn the hard way. While there is nothing wrong with that, linux can be temperamental if you don't know what you are doing. New users who don't have a solid foundation just cargo cult their way through and eventually will cause damage to the system.
    There is a difference between typing "sudo apt-get install" and knowing you are relaying that you would like elevated permissions for use of the package management to retrieve and the install something.
    I've been using linux since edgy eft and the deep end approach lead to a lot of formatting, staying up all night fixing issues and kernel panic. I wish I would have taken the time to understand what I was doing and what it meant.
    Long story short learning how to communicate with linux will make your user experience more enjoyable.

      @diksha5746 7 років тому

      You created a directory/folder apparently, not a file. Use this command to create a file: touch test
      Then u can use: cp test testcopy

    Why do tools, like this Kevin Burton guy, go on to tutorials just to talk shit? This guy is trying to do some good and help others understand Linux, and you're giving him grief about not knowing the inventors name?
    I bet you that half of Windows users can't tell you who invented Windows.

      Mr J it was an intern at an electronic store. His metorphorical and mental chess game against Steve jobs. Bill gates wanted to get ahead of Jobs so he claimed or have an operating system which wasn't non existing at that point. So bill gates started looking for one snd bought the only one created yet. From an inern. Then sold the system for Microsoft that system I. Question simple Windows

    The entire point of making GUI was to end forcing users to have to use CLI which is basically DOS Text like programming.
    Want to get users to jump on board Linux?
    Look no one was excited about Windows DOS (any version) but Apple MAC created something EASY TO USE, that did not require remembering commands.
    So what did Linux do? Keep asking Users to memorize tons of LINE COMMANDS?????
    What would you think if this was the way you used your Mobile Phone?????
    REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS!

    • @artemgolomolzin1822
      @artemgolomolzin1822 6 років тому

      @Rich Gilbertson actually, no.
      cause most linux distros have a nice GUI which lets you not to remember all the commands
      but when usr is experienced a bit and knows many gui's tricks, he often understand CLI is more useful in some (not every) cases.
      sorry for probably bad english, it isnt my native language

    • @braincoolo9399
      @braincoolo9399 6 років тому +1

      CLI was still in linux as its mainly used by programmers and devs, and when you learn the commands and practice its faster than GUI, its faster to do something like "pacman -S install steam" instead of going into a browser, type out the name linux, find the linux website, choose the OS and then install it
