Linux is often recommended as a foundational skill for DevOps, but its real value becomes clear only through hands-on practice. This week, I focused on building a strong understanding of Linux fundamentals by working directly in the terminal rather than passively consuming tutorials.
During this week, I practiced and explored the following core Linux concepts:
- File and directory management
- User, group, and permission handling
- Disk usage analysis and process monitoring
- Networking fundamentals
- File compression, backups, and transfers
- Text processing using tools such as grep, sed, and awk
Working with these commands helped me understand how Linux systems behave in real environments and how administrators interact with servers on a daily basis.
Linux is not about memorizing commands. It is about understanding system behavior, permissions, and processes, and being comfortable navigating and troubleshooting through the terminal.
I documented all commands and concepts I practiced in a structured GitHub repository to ensure reproducibility and accountability.

What’s Next
In the coming week, I will move into shell scripting and begin combining these fundamentals into small automation workflows.
