Why Learning the Unix Shell? <br>
|
||
This is the question that you probably asked yourself
|
||
the first time you saw someone doing something with it.<br>
|
||
Well, Unix Shell is actually a must have skill for any well respectable computer scientist.
|
||
There are indeed several reasons to learn using it, here are some:
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li> It is the only way to communicate with servers, because they don’t have a graphical user interface. </li>
|
||
<li> You can program in the Shell! Unix Shell provides a set of special commands that can be used to create Scripts.
|
||
Scripts are programs that can execute in a loop a series of commands. You can even create scripts that automatically fix your code!</li>
|
||
<li> You look like a hacker, when you use it! (If you really want to look like a pro, go to settings and make
|
||
the shell background black, with green text.) </li>
|
||
</ul>
