Command-Line
We continue with an introduction to Command-Line. This module takes an estimated 2 hours to complete.
The command-line, also called the Windows command line, command screen, or text interface is a user interface that's navigated by typing commands at prompts, instead of using a mouse.
Using a command-line, you can perform almost all the same tasks that can be done with a GUI, but quicker and easier to automate and do remotely. Good knowledge of the command-line is an essential skill for any successful bioinformatician.
You only learn command-line for Week 1. At the end of the week, you should:
- Know how to connect to the server and perform command-line multiplexing
- Be familiar with the Bash terminal
- Be familiar with the Linux command-line
