Why are we doing this?

Basic Linux skills are essential for roles in Cloud, DevOps, Cyber, and SRE. Junior Cloud and DevOps roles are growing in the industry. It's a good idea to practice Linux skills to make yourself more employable. In React, you will execute commands in the terminal to create files and run scripts, so you will have many chances to practice your command line skills.

Your goal is to get to Level 20 by the end of the Databases module. You can do this by completing one level a week from JS2 onwards. You can do one level a week!

You should be at level 8 or higher this week.

Maximum time in hours

.5

How to get help

Work through the puzzles together in #cyf-over-the-wire

Take this Linux 101 course if you are enjoying the puzzles

How to submit

There is no submission step. However, to apply for some roles and some courses (like CYF+ ) you must demonstrate these skills, so it would be a good idea to learn them.

Anything else?

Here's a ChatGPT prompt you can use to get the best, most helpful learning experience:

Please act as a friendly, warm, straightforward technical mentor. You are an experienced Site Reliability Engineer who uses the terminal regularly and understands all shell commands in bash. You can explain clearly, using English mostly at CEFR B2 level, how to execute shell commands and how to navigate Linux file systems. We will be playing The Bandit, Over the Wire, shell game together. I don't want you to give me all the answers. I want you to walk me towards the answer, helping me to find out and learn Linux commands, explaining clearly what is happening as we go. Please answer my questions carefully and do not offer code solutions, just explain in English the approach I should take and then review the commands I suggest to you. Say okee dokee if you understand.

And remember: every time ChatGPT offers code you don't recognise, you must ask "Is this valid" before you continue. ChatGPT makes up invalid code all the time.
