Introduction

At this point you’re pretty familiar with using the command line.

While there’s a whole world of things you can still learn about using the command line, and more command line tools than you can imagine to learn about (which sometimes themselves contain entire programming languages!), you’ve learned and demonstrated a lot! 🎉

In this fortnight we’re going to begin automating interactions with our shell and begin to write shell “scripts”: a list of commands that our shell will run for us instead of having to type all the commands in one at a time.
