Terminal. I never use it. I hear its great.

I'd love a tutorial on the Top 10 Things I Should Be Using The Shell / Command Line To Do. Simple walkthrough of daily uses to get me in the habit of doing things from the command line.

Also, if you wanted to toss in a refresher on the whole ., .., ../, ..// thing, awesome. Mostly i get this stuff but why would anyone ever use ..// when ../ takes you to the root? I see it all the time in H. Where does the second take you? The metaverse?

Frosting on the Unixy cake would be a run-through / examples of all the nifty op…: VEX functions. Love them. Always find them confusing to implement.

OK, that was a ramble but hopefully it makes sense.
