I wrote a book about the command line!

The Linux command line and the use of shells like Bash or Zsh can be used to control your operating system, improve your development environment with command-line tools, setup CI pipelines and also to interact with remote machines or Docker containers.

If you are a software developer without knowledge of the command line and the popular shells, you are missing out. I know I was!

That's why I wrote a short and to-the-point ebook on the most essential knowledge that will take your skills to the next level!

My book Command Line: A Modern Introduction is a culmination of more than two years of research, writing, and rewriting on topics like:

  • Shells and terminals
  • Bash and Zsh
  • Running Commands
  • Shell Shortcuts
  • Getting Help
  • Configuration
  • Search
  • Text Data Wrangling
  • SSH and SCP
  • The best command-line tools
  • Shell scripts
  • and many more!

You will get a beautiful PDF with almost 100 syntax-highlighted and annotated shell sessions and other code examples. If this book doesn't change the way you interact with the command line, nothing will!
