Jeong Rita thanks man really helps
this needs more upvotes!!!
Well done! this absolutely needs to be added to the video description to show timespamps on the video progress bar!!!
Thank you! Very useful!
good job man, very helpful!
i'm old; i graduated in 1979, way before the www was a thing
the fact that i can hop onto youtube and drop into a class at MIT like this still blows my mind
Similar. EE/CS 1980's We've passed files back and forth for decades. Our development projects now involve 10's of programmers. This lecture was well presented and gratefully received. Nice Job and Thank you!
Similiar too. i graduated in 2004 😁
I feel so dumb at work sometimes. I had to learn these things the hard way, thank you for putting this out there.
But #! is a special comment, not telling the shell to run as root, right? I don’t get your comment or maybe I missed the part he explained shebang
I've been writing "clear" instead of just ctrl+l all this time ..
Teymur Azayev same 😮
is there a shortcut to clear scrollback too?
same here
Same
The clear command and ctrl+l do not do the same thing. They are very similar, but sometimes it makes sense to use one or the other.
thank you youtube algorithm for this magnificent content
I think we should rather thank MIT. They're quite probably the best tech university in the world, and they're publishing content for free that they could charge us a fortune to access if they wanted to.
These lecture are amazing, thanks for releasing this to the public!
This.
@@ChristopherOkhravi lectures ;-)
@@skarasif lectures* :-)
@@ChristopherOkhravi are you planning on coming back to creating videos on YT? Really wanted to see how your VIM series would pan out. Thanks for everything
Very true
Why is this in my recommandations and why am I starting to plan to watch the whole courses
+1 I even dont have Linux installed for years
same!
long live CZcams recommendations
If you haven't already, go for it!
😂
Im sad this kind of quality instruction is not commonplace across other post secondary institutions.. I guess it is MIT after all... Thanks for making this available
This type of quality instruction isn’t even commonly available at MIT lol.
I'm like 15 minutes in, and I'm already thankful to you guys for making this!! For someone who used to be a programmer but left and is now making a comeback, this packs-a-punch.
THIS IS WHAT WE ALL NEEDED. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
This is a lecture series I have wanted. Thank you MIT!
How they teach and covers the topic is really helpful. I think they are doing great work to post these and their notes over internet for people to use. Regards to the authors.
the xdg-open in powershell was just: start worked with pdfs and .html files.
Lectures we didn't ask for but we all needed the most.
great! MIT never ever dissapoints me. Hope this quality of education become a standard in the future in every country.
I'm actually tearing up. I've been trying to learn how to do things and it's been super frustrating and EVERY SINGLE COURSE I have ever seen either teaches you what a variable is. Or has a "google is your best friend" sort of approach. Thank you so much for making these videos
This is exactly what I need! Thank you MIT
I came to think again, that we are living very hopeful period of time given that these fruitful and friendly lectures from MIT is ready to be watched free, at all around the world:)
so glad i found this courses. thank you MIT and all who made this!
43:44 scroll lock is for you to scroll around in spreadsheet program like Excel with arrow keys. so when it is toggled, arrow keys scroll around instead of move the focus on a cell
that is also what ctrl+arrow keys do in a text editor. thanks for sharing.
Starts at 4:08
cheers man
Thanks. Those late student were annoying me.
Tesekkurler
This is awesome. You guys are awesome for sharing it publicly. Everything about this is awesome.
I cannot thank you enough for this course. Im also a teacher at the university and I never have the time to teach this concepts deeply to my students, so at least now I have a place to redirect them.
glad to hear there's teachers that still care.
I wish this lecture series existed 6 years ago. Would've made life a little easier.
"On Windows, who knows?" made me chuckle
Made me install linux
@@pedrofalcao1900 try WSL it's super easy to setup and you get full linux terminal inside your windows.
WSL easy bash without switching OSes
what a great and generous idea to publish these lectures for everyone. Thank you!
wow, this is very good! the content is really nice and the way he teaches it and structure the lecture is way better than what i had in college
Just finished first lecture... Big thanks for this series!
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever found on CZcams...
Great Great Great! Been using bash shell foryears and you opened me up to other worlds man. These videos are so 👍
40:24 Please don't teach people "sudo su" (or the slightly less terrible "sudo su -"). In fact, don't teach people about "su" at all, other than to use it to install/fix "sudo" or as a history lesson. It certainly _works_, but you're telling the shell to do something twice, i.e. "run as root" (sudo) then "become the root user" (su).
The thing you want is "sudo -i" or "initial login" (equivalent to "su -" and "sudo su -"), which tells sudo to start a shell *and* process the normal login scripts, e.g. .profile, .login, .bash_profile, etc.
"Su"ing twice has a number of unexpected and irritating--though not insurmountable--side-effects for administrators (i.e. me, a linux admin for 20+ years), but it also causes trouble for an end-users since it strips their environment variables. "Sudo" handles this quite well (depending on your sudoers configuration), but "su" does not. This is problematic for things like preserving a non-root user's $SSH_AUTH_SOCK (maybe you want to use your ssh keys when you're root), or language preferences ($LANG), or $DISPLAY for GUI users, etc.
Thanks, that is useful :)
In case you need a shell (to do more than a single command) you'd call: sudo bash
That avoids the problems mentioned above.
@@mwat56 I'll politely disagree here. "sudo -i" does, in fact, give you a shell, AND it simulates a login the proper way. "sudo bash" suffers from the same environment problems as "sudo su"
Exactly. I was going to comment this, but you explained it much better than I could.
If you don't need to go through "login" then 'sudo -s' will also work and just start up a new environment rather than login then env. For example 'sudo -s' will drop you into a root shell and 'sudo -u foo -s' will drop you into a shell for user 'foo'. Again without the login (.profile & .login). I recommend using "sudo -c 'command'", "sudo -s" and "sudo -u foo -sH" (-H sets the homedir for the user as well).
Thanks for sharing it. It's really helpful to someone like me who have never learnt these basic things.
These are super useful. Making my way through them.
I cannot believe how good of a professor this guy is. I wish I could learn software development and data science from him.
He has his own CZcams channel, which I just discovered czcams.com/channels/_iD0xppBwwsrM9DegC5cQQ.html
Pretty good lecture, I wish it would be available when I was a freshman five years ago. Thanks for the hard work.
Thank you youtube recommendations. This was beautiful! I am going to watch the whole course.
41:30 it was worth watching for me, just for this. Great example of why 'cat' with shell piping isn't sufficient to write to a system file. But you also don't want to elevate the whole shell to root privileges because it's inconvenient (especially when scripting) and because then everything will be executed with root privileges. Now I understand why tee exists. Cheers.
Another resource I can reccomend on this topic is Learn Enough Command Line To Be Dangerous. It is a fun read with exercises.
I really enjoy this course and learn a ton of foundation things. Thanks guys
Thank you so much for releasing this course in public. Just been through 1st lecture and content and the way you teach is very good.
Very good. This teacher is first class. Thanks so much
tip: watch on 1.5 speed if it suits your fancy, i find it helps me focus (also great lecture!!)
Thanks MIT!! For these great lecture series
About the "echo 1060 | sudo tee brightness" command 42:17 , does this mean if we somehow run a malicious .sh script obtain from internet that contain similar command but does malicious action, it will execute successfully? since this command does not require shell login as superuser
Amazing to look at it during quarantine. Thank you very much!
I love how this guy explains things, I am a long time subscriber of his channel his voice is just mesmerizing
Rabin Gaire same! what's his channel name?
@@linsanity626 channel link czcams.com/channels/_iD0xppBwwsrM9DegC5cQQ.html
Love this course! Really helped me on my work.
I wish it would be available when I was a freshman one years ago. Thanks for the hard work.
It is never too late :)
lol, I was a freshman 4 years ago and much more experienced now and I’m still going to sit through these lectures 🤓
Hey, that's Jon Gjengset! He does the "Crust of Rust" videos here on CZcams, I had no idea he also taught these lectures, I only recognize him now after coming back again 2 years later.
I just can't thank you enough. Great content.
God damn, I had this bookmarked for way too long. Looking forward to going through the playlist! :)
Super useful for graduates. Thanks a bunch.
wow so many small useful things that actually boost productivity, great lecture
A good thing to be doing. I used to do something similar in my airline engineering career by running lunchtime classes for new young engineers. Much of the time people assume that others know as much as they do, without thinking how long and hard it was to acquire that knowledge.
Just a note of added confusion:
Apple replaced "bash" with "zsh" as the default shell in macOS Catalina
While a number of Mac developers have already moved on to even more modern shells like Fish, zsh is more compatible with Bourne shell (sh) and mostly compatible with bash.
THE VERGE/ By Tom Warren@tomwarren Jun 4, 2019, 4:27am EDT
Bash and zsh have the same syntax.
After several years of watching lectures in my off-work hours, this shall be my "graduation" class.
This is better than my entire degree in my uni
Nice terminal setup. I already checked the instructor's dotfiles but couldn't find which font he is using. Any idea what font that is?
I remembered the basics and did learn a few commands I didn't know. Thanks!
This is super helpful 👍. Thanks a lot for uploading it to CZcams.
This is truly amazing!! Thanks for sharing!! By the way, I see vendor Perl and core perl in the path at 11:40. Does it mean the instructor is using Perl? If so, for what purpose?
Thanks fr these videos which have released! ❣️
This entire talk is this smart telling you you don't know things. :)
Very insightful!
thank you for releasing to us
Are there solutions for the exercises given? I'm having trouble with Question 3. Is it telling me to execute the file with *ls semester*?
oouuww yes.. i will put that knowledge inside my head. Thank you!
this is exactly what i needed
Absolutely amazing lecture. I already knew 80% of these commands but it was still fun to watch and a good learning experience. Especially the fun stuff with sys directory in the end. Nobody teaches that lol...
Hey, does it require linux or we can do in windows?
same!
@@meghasharma1962 maybe use WSL, though i don't know how are dirs organized in wsl
How can you run "tee" as root (sudo) because it is not an ordinary program but a shell utility like ls? In my logic you would need a root shell, too. I'm confused.
WOWOWOWOWOWOW THIS IS GOLDDD!!! 🔥💯 wish I knew this year's ago 😭
He is very eloquent.
was trying out the backlight example. i could cd backlight/ but the ls after that shows no file. am i missing something? access or hidden files? i am using ubuntu on windows virtual box if it matters. please help if you can.
I hope my univ could have such courses, instead of assuming we already know
Brilliant course!
Wait so does both "echo 1060 | sudo tee brightness" and "echo 1060 | sudo brightness" commands work fine? I am running linux shell on a virtual machine so i cant run a brightness program.. can't find out myself..
That's basic? Man I'm hyped!
Very insightful and useful lecture.
Excellent lectures!
Thank you for this lecture!
Thank you these lectures
Very nicely explained!
Extremely helpful. Thank you.
What does the forward slash do in this command? ls -l / | tail -n1
can someone help me, when I do, cd /sys in my mac terminal it says no file or directory found.
This is awesome, thank you so much!
this is crazy good, thanks
great lecture! thanks
what a greate lecture!
This is a great idea!
Another not obvious thing: Inside the shell CTRL + C is cancel, not copy. The most useful trick noone tells you is hitting the up arrow offers you the latest command you entered, and you can scroll up as much as you want by hitting up arrow.
Use Ctrl + Insert to copy
Shift + Insert to paste
Nice lectures, happy to learn more
I wish I had these kind of lectures in college.
I'm not able to run some of the commands like pipe, ls -l etc..on windows powershell. Do I need Linux?
thank you mit, this course helps a lot!
Is there a bash command cheat sheet anywhere I can use? The ones I googled where not very concise or helpful. A good 1 page cheat sheet would be very useful
Am I being pedantic to ask about 18:53? When Jon says that "there is an optional number of options," does he mean a number of optional options? I guess zero would be an "optional" number of options we could apply, no?
22:40 Also, if you don't have write permission on a file but have write permission on its directory, you can still delete the file.
This is beautiful.
Is there an example of screen casting from the command line he refers to ?
This is my reference book now.
