How to control your computer by typing commands

The command line is an interactive interface to your operating system. Instead of controlling your computer by clicking and dragging with the mouse you type in commands on the so-called command line or shell. Controlling your computer by hammering at the keyboard looks really old-fashioned and uncomfortable at the first glance. But if you are working with a lot of data or are programming, using the command line is a very efficient instrument. After some training period you will not want to miss it anymore. Command line interfaces are available on essentially all operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS as well as Microsoft Windows.

In this workshop we will concentrate on common commands within the Unix/Linux command line, which is also available on Windows.
