Using Terminal or some sort of command line interface is essential for anyone working with computers and especially for programmers. It allows you to do a deep dive into your computer when something is wrong. It allows you to perform software installations. It allows you to execute scripts and compile your code. It also allows you to use git. I can’t think of a day in my career or programming classes where I didn’t use some sort of computer terminal.

So where to begin? When would you use Terminal? And how would you use Terminal? If you’ve only been programming in an IDE this whole time, now is the time to take that next step into the digital world.

I’m going to talk about why and where you would need to use a computer terminal. It is such a useful and necessary skill to have. As a programmer, you are a digital builder and architect. You need to learn how to navigate digitally!

In this video, you’ll learn:
-Why you need to know how to use terminal commands
-When terminal commands come in handy
-Essential commands to get started

Hope this helps!
