Introduction to Linux and Basic Linux Commands for Beginners

This is like, one of the few tutorials, when you can actually keep up with the pace, even as a COMPLETE beginner. Thanks for the tutorial! Now I feel like I did something really cool.

ls ( list content of current directory ) pwd ( print working directory ) cd ( used for navigation ) cd.. ( back to previous direcrtory ) cd/ ( back to root directory ) cp ( copy files ) rm ( remove file) mkdir (make new directory ) rmdir (remove directory) rm-r folder name (to delete non empty folder) clear (clears the terminal screen) man ls (displays the manual for any command that can be run in terminal)

Literally this guy is a champion. My College Professor makes no sense, this guy just taught me 2 classes worth of stuff I couldn't understand in 19 minutes. Very clear concise, easy to understand. Cant thank you enough! Showing us the visual in the GUI so we can see what we are doing with each command was very helpful. The added tip of "file and directory can be used interchangeably" also really helped. I was very lost in my classes as my professor explained nothing clearly and kept saying file and directory but I was like "what is the difference?" Thank you so much!

Best tutorial I've seen of Linux commands. Just straight to the point and gives context on why the commands are the commands (which helps me remember it better). And the CLI and GUI side by side was great too. So you can actually see what you're doing. Best video yet. Gives context and straight to the point!

Great tutorial. Simple and straight to the point. I love that GUI and CLI were shown side-by-side.

Dude, I was reading turorials like crazy but none of them helped me as much as this one, thanks a lot, even after 9 years this works perfectly

As a beginner, this was a very helpful video for me. I am currently in a Intro to Linux class at my college, and you provided info that wasn't in the introductory chapter of my course. The information in this video really helped me better understand how the Linux terminal and its commands work. You broke everything down so well, and made everything perfectly clear. I appreciate the fact that you tried so hard to make this clear, so it is very difficult for someone to get lost. Thanks so much!

I'm in my second semester of IT Courses. The way you explained the directory was perfect. None of my professors ever brush up on that.

Excellent Saki, these days I am learning Linux as a beginner and couldn't get the actual grip... but now after watching this session from you feeling very comfortable and can move on further. It was mainly the way you explain the entire session with nice voice modulation. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much .Really liked your style of teaching and your pace and tone is exactly what beginners need to grasp these concepts. I have gone through the playlist hoping for more tutorials on Linux commands. Wish there had been more as mentioned in the intro.

I've been tasked in learning Linux and from someone that didn't even know what it was this video 100% helps me out so thank you. I will be looking at other content for Linux in your library, explained really well, not to technical but to the point which is always a nice thing.

Good stuff. I just interviewed for a job that asked about my knowledge of LINUX and it was nil. I immediately started scouring You Tube for Fedora and LINUX...so far, this is the best explanation of line codes I was told I should familiarize myself with...thank you.

Thank you very much, Saki! Simple and easy to understand. As a beginner, I appreciate how clear and straight to the point this video was. Got my thumbs up :)

11:04 is where I really begin to understand the importance of using Linux codes. Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial!

You can always tell when the teacher knows what he is talking about. You can learn how to do it immediately. Thank you! You are the best!

I recently changed Departments, I am now training as IT support, and these tutorials are amazing, and I would like you to continue making new videos, as things are updated, keep up the great work @sakitech

Great tutorial! I like how you really explained things well and in depth. Im new to the Linux operating system and this video really helped me to understand basic terminal commands. Ill be checking out your other tutorials as well. Thanks Saki

Ok, so he spelled the Linux inventors name wrong. I still think this a great beginner's tutorial on Linux commands. People are so quick to pass judgment. He has a great speaking voice and was extremely direct. I enjoyed this video and will continue watching more of his videos and follow him on social media.

I have a job interview coming up on which I am expected to know some Linux. This quick video was extremely informative. Did make a little sleepy but I think that was me. Important commands : pwd - print working directory (see where you are) cd - check directory (see what you have)cd "specific folder" - go into a specific folder in directory ls - list of everything in current directory cd .. - go back one step to what you were working on prior rm - remove file clear - clear commandscp - copy file cd/ - return to root directory mkdir - make new folder rmdir - remove folder man ls - provides extra information and detail for everything within the directory man cp - provides extra information and detail about copying everything is case sensitive in linux folder and directory essentially mean the same thing.

Its always nice to go back to basics. Some of the issues I had was the "need" to jump into the deep end and learn the hard way. While there is nothing wrong with that, linux can be temperamental if you don't know what you are doing. New users who don't have a solid foundation just cargo cult their way through and eventually will cause damage to the system. There is a difference between typing "sudo apt-get install" and knowing you are relaying that you would like elevated permissions for use of the package management to retrieve and the install something. I've been using linux since edgy eft and the deep end approach lead to a lot of formatting, staying up all night fixing issues and kernel panic. I wish I would have taken the time to understand what I was doing and what it meant. Long story short learning how to communicate with linux will make your user experience more enjoyable.
