tusharhero@janneke exercism.org might have something?

J$@janneke I like big books and I cannot lie.

fr-g"Most computer users today are familiar only with the graphical user interface (GUI) and have been taught by vendors and pundits that the
command line interface (CLI) is a terrifying thing of the past. This is unfortunate because a good command line interface is a marvelously expressive way of communicating with a computer in much the same way the written
word is for human beings."

Morten Juhl-Johansen@janneke I remember using linuxcommand.org when I was getting into it - it is an introduction related to a book, which is also available.
erientes@janneke Over The Wire's "War Games" is very hands on. Although it doesn't provide clean, prepped lessons, it does link to pages to study the material related to the exercise:

Maximilian Rosin@janneke I liked this one from Dave Kerr. A lot of titles from No Starch Press are free to read online. https://effective-shell.com/introduction/
Introduction | Effective Shell
I've been lucky enough to spend many years working as a software engineer, and I've worked with data scientists, data engineers, site reliability engineers, and technologists of all sorts. One trait that stands out in great technologists is their ability to make their tools work for them by stitching the tools together in creative ways to suit their unique styles and needs. This book will help you do just that by using the shell.
Karolina Surma@janneke I liked https://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/ (but not sure how approachable it is for younger people).
Walrus 🏴Maybe the Internet Archive has copies of the remaining chapters?
Jens Kube@janneke I don't know if it is too basic or maybe a bit outdated, but I think the now 25-yeaer-old GeNUA-script is still very good.

Cavallo Pazzo@janneke The Linux Foundations LFS 101 is a well structured all in one training for free.

meek cynics@janneke, I've recently become aware of the Introduction to the Command Line published by GNU Press.
nokke@janneke I would second the recommendation for the Linux Foundation course.
Some folks learn via books, some via hands-on. The Linux Foundation course covers both aspects.
There's a lot of Linux (cmdline) not really "taught" in books - think easy things, like we put "from" on left and "to" on right in cmd structure. Fingers need to tickle the keyboard to absorb the clues and context around you.
tyil@janneke I know of Command Challenge, but I thought its a little more advanced that absolute beginner. The source code is on Gitlab (which is suboptimal but better than Github I guess), and is MIT licensed.

@janneke Check out w3schools and Wikibooks.

'The command line' is not a topic but just a specific way of interacting.
I guess it's the `bash` (bourne again shell) that is meant. The proper way of learning it is running linux (from a live image on a USB stick if you don't want to install it), to open a terminal ("the command line") and simply type `man bash` or `info bash`.
Also nearly all bigger distributions offer some kind of introduction on their webpage. Take the one of the live image/ distro that is used.
@appassionato @janneke
Actually, there is absolutely no need to buy a book to learn anything about linux. Everything is documented in detail, most of it already installed or easy to install (often declared as "doc"-package) on any linux system. Linux *is* learning.

Omnivore'man sh' will default to the shell you are actually running.

Sebastian@janneke not a course per se, but https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk has created a mindboggeling amount of awesome comics for almost all Linux concepts and commands. They are free here: https://wizardzines.com/comics/ And her collected issues are splendid as well.

rivaanCan't go far wrong reading the manuals of the software she's trying to learn. Those are all available online for free. Example:
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/index.html
David Cantrell 🏏@janneke if her teacher suggested she do it then I'd ask the teacher for recommendations.
@DrHyde
That's the first thing she did.
They said: If you finish the course in three weeks, it's the best 28 Euros you ever spent.
They didn't seem to care about grasp the idea of freedom/free software.
"You just need to pass on a few beers this summer."
"I don't drink."
I really doubt if they even got the irony of free as in freedom, not as in beer.
@janneke free-as-in-speech software is about being able to do stuff with it, it's not about preventing others from offering paid services around the software, such as training materials.
Anyway, I don't have a basic course to recommend, but *after* learning the basics I very strongly recommend the "MIT Missing Semester" course. That does include an "introduction to the shell" but it only skims the surface. Really productive CLIing requires more than what's there. https://missing.csail.mit.edu/
Jan-Hendrik@janneke someone in the Fediverse recommended https://missing.csail.mit.edu/2020/ and I found it quite nice and easy to follow! I can't find the original post, but the link should suffice.

@janneke maybe this would help? https://www.w3schools.com/bash/index.php
haven't tried this one myself, but w3schools is usually pretty good and usually free, and bash is usually the default command line shell on linux distros

I've probably learned more about shell scripting by passing my scripts through https://www.shellcheck.net/ than any other resource. Assuming the topics include scripting I recommend it.
