What helps people get comfortable on the command line?
- OliveMate 3y agoThis was a nice read, and as someone who's been slowly getting into Linux and panics at the seeming over-reliance of using sudo terminal commands, I'm glad that she started this read off with risk. Sure any program could break something, but with command lines things feel more abstract in a way, and whenever I'm putting in a command I can't help but feel I'm betting on not screwing up. I will say I'm warming up to the terminal than I ever did CMD because you can run programs without faffing about with CD (or god forbid you try and figure out how to switch with drive to use).

Your programming skills transfer to CLI.
