Intro to BASH // Command Line for Beginners

When we think about interacting with our computers, the first thing that comes to mind is usually opening different applications and clicking through folders.

But when it comes to executing certain tasks, doing things this way is actually NOT the most efficient way to get it done.

And that’s where the almighty command line and languages like Bash come into play.

And while you don’t need to be a hacking wizard with the terminal, it is important as a data engineer to have a general working knowledge and be able to run some of the basic commands.

So in this video I want to give you a brief overview of bash, talk about examples of where you’ll run into it and finally provide 5 simple commands to get started.
