Here is the video version, if you prefer it:

Next up we have command pipelines, input/output redirection and regular expressions.

All of these are used quite frequently and are thus important to understand. A note on regular expressions: regular expressions might not seem very useful at the time, but if you invest the time to learn them it will pay off, as you can’t resolve regular expression mistakes using Google as easily as some other types of mistakes. The same holds for when you will be learning about input/output redirection and pipelines. You will have to use them at some point and if you don’t know how, it will be to your detriment.

So grit your teeth, read the words of Linux wisdom and go forth!

In the following posts, we are going to cover a lot of commands. Those commands are the bread-and-butter of the Linux command line. You will use them almost daily and almost every tutorial on how-to do something on Linux uses these commands and so it is very important to understand what they do, since most tutorials assume you know what they do.

I will not lie – this will be a little bit dry. However, treat it as learning to add and subtract. It is not fun at the time you are learning it, but you power through it. I am asking you to power through it a little bit. It will pay off.

See you on the other side!
