FOR THE PEDANTIC PEOPLE: No, BASH is not a Terminal, It is a Shell. I explain that in the video. The title is constructed to be searchable, not taken literally. Since I have clarified this in the comment section already, there is no need for you to do so. Thanks. :)

I'm about to give you an unusual complement. I live in Nashville where obviously there are a lot of songwriters. I actually am very close to some people who have written some big hit songs. one thing I know about songwriting is that you have to keep the song moving forward continually. In other words, you can't just hover over one idea for a long time. You should always keep the story moving forward, the next event always progressing from the last event especially if you're telling a story of course, and making it very understandable to the listener. Your lessons flow very much like a well-written song. You're an excellent orator, and your lessons flow from one thing to another in a very logical way. I just thought I'd put that out there. I'm very appreciative of the work you do to get these videos out there. I don't know why, but I am really into Linux very much. I just thought I'd pass that along. God bless.

Joe, I have been landing on your videos for years whenever I was in need of something specific and you always seem to have a tutorial in your inimitable style. No more a lurker, you have a brand new subscriber!

Really enjoyed your presentation, Joe. I'd learned some of these commands before. However, to have someone tie them together like that really makes things easier to remember. Thank you for sharing.

God damn, dude. This was one of the best things I've ever seen on youtube. I swear to god the progression, flow & order of this tutorial is so flawless & perfect it's hard to believe a human being came up with it.

This video is absolutely brilliant. I'm studying operating systems at Uni and we are learning bash at the moment, this has helped so much. Really appreciate the time and effort you've put into this. Liked and Subbed!!!

I am so impressed with your guide! You have presented a lot of useful information in a well paced, well spoken and well delivered way. You are clear with your instructions, keep things moving forward but also don't pile on too much new information all in one go. I already knew a little bit about Bash, and your guide helped me to validate things I thought I already knew, then taught me a whole lot more on the subject. A massive thank you from me for your wonderful teaching style. I'm off to search through your archives now in the hope of some Javascript and other web development guides :)

This was my first video of Linux. After two years working with it almost as a daily driver I can tell that this is for sure one of the most useful and comprehensible video-tutorial of everything I've learn in my entire life. Congrats Joe👍

Dude....your teaching skills are amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together; while being clear and concise.

This video is incredible. I was hardcore into DOS back in the old days, have my first Linux computer coming this week. I'm a total Newb, and am so excited! Thank you for this, you are a great teacher!

I like to watch multiple videos of the same tech topics to make sure I grasp all the concepts correctly. Without a doubt, this one is by far the best one for linux terminal usage, thank you so much Joe.

I took basic linux unix in school but this video taught me advance commands I never knew and explained deeper why basic commands work and what they mean so much better than any course I have ever taken. Can't tell you how many videos I have seen in the past 4 years, this one is THE BEST one I have ever come across! Thank You

i love how you don't _assume_ that the person watching knows this or that. this is truly a beginner's guide; you explain *everything,* even the parts i feel other tutorials would skip. i've been using bash for almost a year now and there was still so much that i had no idea of, or that i did know how to use but didn't know how it worked. this crash course was a massive insight into all that. thank you for the great video!

Thank you very much sir, I was really needing that didactic approach to the terminal. The fear of the unknown vanishes with valuable information.

My new assignment requires me to know my way around Linux and this was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for your clear and concise explanations. It's perfect for short attention spanned me.

Very nice introduction to not only some basic BASH commands, but a few other things... In particular, your explanation of file (and folder) permissions is particularly clear.

I am very new to Linux and as an aspiring programmer I found this video very helpful and easy to watch (even at *2 speed) ! Thank you for this quality content, now it's time for me to try this out !

"your life will never be the same again" beautiful! Thank You. I have learned a lot.

I never normally comment on videos, but I really really wanted to take a moment to thank you profusely! I'm a new Linux convert and I've been copy/pasting solutions from the internet for any problems I've come across. Now, I feel like I can begin to understand how thr problems occured and how to best solve them without "borking" my OS, lol. Between your "5 biggest mistakes new Linux users make" and this video, it finally feels like I have a semblence of light in my dark and curious passage through Linux

I am a proficient Terminal user and I still learned new things. Thanks for being so thorough.

UGHHHH THANK YOUUU. a lot of tutorials i find move so slow, this is amazing!!!

Man, had loads of fun following along on Terminal. Cheers!

Good job here, Joe! Relevant content, succinct delivery and pacing without reiteration. I'm new to Linux (my roots in MS-DOS) and I started leaning from this video right from the get-go! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for making this video! I have learned more in one hour with you than I have in the last 2yrs Please keep making these teaching videos!

11 mins in... and hours of trying to troubleshoot a soundcard issue on a chromium device makes soooo much more sense. Thanks a lot!!!

The way this tutorial was presented makes Bash scripting easier to learn & understand. Well done Joe :)

Man thank you for this man, You taught me this a lot easier than I learned in class. Have my linux certification coming up soon.

I just learned the intricacies of linux file permissions. This is something I had been wanting to learn for the last 5 years. I had read books, gone through countless tutorials, wasting hundreds of hours of my time, to absolutely no avail. And one fine day, this "crash course" video opens my eyes, something expensive books, and dedicated tutorials could not do. You just opened the world of linux terminal to me. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. Thank you for opening the annals of deep linux to me.

Best video I have ever seen in my life, thank you for actually teaching us like were beginners!

thank you Sir, you the best...I have found . I am soooo glad I found your channel, amazing!

Amazing video! So well done and explained!

Only 6 minutes in and I've leaned much more about bash than most other KZread videos. Thanks for knowing how to present and keeping shit pertinent!

Easily one of the greatest tutorial videos for I.T. Couldn't have done a better job in this video, thank you!

Being an expert in MS-Dos, cmd, and powershell, but just starting Arch Linux, one time through this video and you have tremendously helped me. All I had to do was equate commands to their MS counterparts. Interesting that some are shared commands. I never realized that I already had a start in Bash until watching your well made video. Dare I say that Bash is already looking more elegant! Subscribed!

Thank you for a great introduction to Bash commands! At college, we spent 10 times more time to "learn" this information. The next step is to figure out how to run parallel processes on a remote cluster...

Joe, you're the man.

I'm 13 minutes deep and I already have a better grasp and understanding of the terminal than a collective of at least 2 hours of other people trying to describe the terminal in linux. I wish I found you first because I would have been more excited to learn more. I'm so excited to actually watch the remaining hour because I know that my understanding of linux will be better than watching 4 hours of someone else's content.

Excellent overview of the basics. It came up on autoplay while I was dozing off and I watched it through. Well organized and not intimidating for new users.

I've been using Linux for years, and even I learned a thing or two in this video.

If I could have had a video to watch like this when I first started banging about, trying to find my way around OpenBSD, things might have gotten a bit smoother. The os had, and still maintains, excellent man pages so it was quite a learning experience as poured over the in built documentation. All the same, all the hours I could have saved if some friendly soul had posted an accessible video on the Korn Shell all those years ago. 😁

Many times i tend to forget things like some of the usabilities of these commands. You are making a good source for ppeople like me. Thank you.

You know how you realize in the middle somewhere that this is a good book and you like it so much that you just don't want it to end..but then it does and then it leaves you with this weird happy + sad feeling..This video was that.. Brilliant stuff for a beginner.. Thanks Joe.

it would be great to see an advanced guide to bash. cause i'm sure all us experienced users can still be doing things better/easier in some way.

Depending on what you're doing you may consider switching to zsh. It allows you to do bulk file renaming. For example you might have a bunch of files with the name fileX.txt where X is a number. You can use zsh to rename all of them to oldfileX.txt or change the extensions or whatever with just one command. Bash would require some more work to do something similar.

I just started myself into Linux yesterday, using the classic "immersion method" so no dual boot to tempt me to fall back. Windows is in the past now. Learning a brand new OS, especially one so dependent on a terminal system is rough. Some of this reminds me of my childhood usiing MS-DOS but 99% of it is just another language, This video so far is helping IMMENSELY. Thank you for this, truly.

Newbie here. I find some of this similar to old MS-DOS. but it allows you to do more things. I found it helpful that the ls command has the -help option, just like in old D.O.S. Your video is excellent. Thanks!

if you want to find out information on "cd" type "help cd" Some things are in the man, man, but depending on the command, you may be able to use help, or some things you can use command -h or command --help which should give the same results.

I use linux for a long time. But a lot of these basic commands I didn't even know.

Terminal: the scariest part of Linux .. Intimidating .. only two things I always hear in these videos. When I started using a computer, GUIs haven't been developed yet. I started on a Commodore 64 and later my first IBM compatible PC came with MS-DOS 4.01. I had my first computer mouse when I got DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.11. Naturally, to me the Terminal is neither intimidating nor scary. I would probably feel like that about punch cards. I guess it's all just a matter of what you know and what you're used to.

Just a side note (okay I admit I haven't watched the video yet, just read the description). Ctrl+D sends an end of file character. This is important because it allows Ctrl+D to not only exit the terminal, but also interactive language prompts as well such as Python, Scheme, Lisp and OCaml.
