good video ✨ just wanna point out I think pwd stands for "Print Working Directory" :)

[@tonywise198]

Yep - see man pwd.

[@AverageNerdTalks]

Good point! After using it for so many years we tend to forget the full forms 😂

[@yasamindev]

@@tonywise198 yep, I checked on Wikipedia but that's cooler xD

[@AverageNerdTalks]

@@bjpgaming592 No.

[@neongamerex]

Kek that intro 🔥

[@MrJhwan]

thank you ANT, this made the terminal much easier to grasp for layman wanting to learn. Using the terminal to open a picture of richard stallman with the caption "reject proprietary software, embrace freedom" made my night.

[@Lizard_of_Linux_Lane]

Man, you didn't even give a spoiler warning. 😔

[@Dreadnox_]

I’m loving these videos

[@Lizard_of_Linux_Lane]

Haha, I saw the other comment about Hindi on a previous video. Very good intro. 😂

[@christianzee5996]

I am getting quite interested in your videos. Keep up the good and informative work.

[@SparxNet]

Not a bad start. In the section for ls, I'd also have put in a little bit of info about permissions and a quick primer on how to read file permissions. many scripts or advice online also deals with chmod - that might be touched upon in the next part of this series. Keep at it, mate. A fine job so far.

[@AverageNerdTalks]

Permissions themselves are quite a beast. Might require a whole video to explain!

[@SparxNet]

@@AverageNerdTalks Looking forward to it.

[@tonywise198]

One of the best explanations I have seen. Just remember that it gets easier with time!
PS: BASH = Bourne Again SHell (Bourne was the man's name who devised it).

[@user-sm1jp4en9u]

LoL...the intro was unexpected

[@tonywise198]

Yes, had me looking at my YT settings. Cool.

[@shawnlowery6246]

I almost clicked off. But worth the wait.

[@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115]

For the algo!

[@tukandev]

Now he is starting to merge with muta with that intro. or wait wait.... he IS muta and muta is actually an alien that can change forms. I said to much oh no...

23:21 It's Caret notation and it's gained far more popular acceptance than others. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caret_notation
Dates back to the mid 60s when the PDP-6 was the bee's knees.
35:12 It's called cat because it's derived from the word concatenate - where it merges the contents of multiple files into one depending on how it's used with the > and >> operators.
