Command line and file management

From shell basics through pipes, find, processes, archives, and scripting

Thirteen guided modules on a POSIX-style terminal, taught through Sam's fictional tidewatch project. Start with paths, directories, text files, cp/mv/rm, permissions, and inspection, then continue into redirection and stderr, pipes and grep, find, environment and PATH, processes, tar/gzip archives, and shell scripting basics. Each module has elaborative concepts, narrated worked examples, and a graded quiz.
