Command Line Basics - Part 1/3 - Foundations - The Odin Project

[@sarahk188]

I’m up to this part and it’s just nice going through it with someone rather than myself I keep getting distracted and not focussing on what I’m reading ahaha 😅

[@hannahmar9775]

Thank you so much for this video! I’m also following the TOP curriculum and was having a hard time getting a good understanding on how the command lines work. It was helpful feeling like someone was there to guide me throughout this process.

[@venwin25]

Thank you for this. The Unix Shell course material is a tad esoteric and was a sticking point for me.

[@maxdoesborgh4653]

Thank you from my ADHD side. I am getting there!

[@waitingpatiently]

I am refering so many people to these videos that follow the Odin Project! :)

[@Staticwitapatek]

thank you so much for this! just having you go over it helped me so much literally took me all day but now i can at least play in terminal using pwd cd and ls also I dont know why but the goostats part still tripped me up. you earned a sub from me.

[@michellebraga1052]

I can't get into the desktop and I tried everything he did! help please. reference 31:20

[@waitingpatiently]

omg thank you for making this video! Makes it alot easier to follow along. I would get lost in all the links and would just give up

32:59 When I type ls shell-lesson-data I get the following message: ls: Cannot access 'shell-lesson-data': No such file or directory
and when I write ls shell-lesson-data.zip the following appears in red: shell-lesson-data.zip but not exercise data/ north-pacific-gyre/ . Anyone know whats means?

[@foreskinmcfatnutsjr]

Hello, sorry nobody helped you out. you got this error because you never pulled out "shell-lesson-data" out of "shell-lesson-data.zip" so when you search your desktop for shell-lesson-data it wont come up but the data zip will come up. I had the same issue

[@juneh5748]

some of my keyboard characters doesnt show up or are in the wrong place, how to fix it?(xubuntu) really annoying when im using terminal

[@jorgenetto429]

You need to change the layout of the keyboard on your linux settings

[@khoinguyen0210]

Thank you for doing this, help me to understand a lots

[@kevin.itruth6880]

I'm brand new to coding and the command line section killed me the first day. I read half way up to the "Two More Shortcuts" part in "Navigating Files and Directories" and had to stop because my brain was crashing, second day I redid it and understood everything. I feel like the second half will take me another two days to understand. Is anyone else having these struggles? I typically am a fast learner so I hope my brain adjusts to all this soon and it doesn't take me forever.

[@Max_2053]

Yes, i also starded this lesson today and is really confusing

[@kevin.itruth6880]

@@Max_2053 I just finished the page on my 3rd day. Just take your time, rest and briefly re-read past sections before you move on. Don't give up, some things just take time to register, it's all brand new to our brains.

[@mozateiwilliams8554]

im struggling so bad and its still the beginning imstarting to doubt myself

[@mozateiwilliams8554]

its so hard for me to follow because im struggling with shortcuts and im trying to get back to shell-data

[@GladerNate]

So are mkdir and touch basically the same thing?

[@UsefulProgrammer]

No. touch creates a file, mkdir creates a folder.

[@GladerNate]

@@UsefulProgrammer realized that after watching more which I should’ve done before commenting 😂 thank you!

[@emanuelsilva6840]

I am here

[@ignis_vitae]

for anyone else wondering about the 1s command not working its actually an L not a 1. So it's ls 🫡

[@zunaidhassan9662]

It literally says `ls` is short for 'listing'.
