Interactive tutorials for learning basics of terminal?

https://linuxsurvival.com/ has a simulated terminal for interactive lessons.

https://linuxjourney.com/ has lessons with exercises/quiz (user has to follow along on their own machine).

See my list of resources https://learnbyexample.github.io/curated_resources/linux_cli... for tutorials/books/videos/etc.

> Most of the top hits on Google either seem to also dive into unnecessary history

You're asking about "the terminal" which has an unavoidable amount of history baked into it.

Since "terminal" often really means the shell that runs in the terminal, try searching for tutorials on bash or zsh.

"bash tutorial" "bash basics" for most unix-ish operating systems

for recent macs, "zsh tutorial" or "macos zsh tutorial" or "macos zsh basics"

bash is the usual shell, zsh is now the default on MacOS. zsh fixes some rough edges in bash.

"for the terminal" ... expand please?

would you like to make a text UI using ncurses?

are you looking to use CLI programs more easily? Or just the particular CLI programs necessary to you workflow, like compiler and linker commands?

I am also available to help if you want a person's voice and experience.
