@hollie I guess everyone's terminal journey is slightly different. For me, it was lots of practice. And reading: operating system manuals, books, and (later on) resources on the web. Also, lots of practice. 😊

I have yet to read them, but macOS Terminal and Shell and Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal look similar to the books I learned from back in the day.

Julia Evans' zines are lovely! Once you get the basics of the terminal down, Bite Size Command Line! and Bite Size Bash! might be interesting reads.

@sod Oh my gosh, those zines! When that web page loaded I squealed with joy! :D Thanks for that link, she is about to have some sales! I'm checking out the other books, too, but Julia Evens' philosophy of teaching the fundamentals just seems like EXACTLY what I'm looking for right now, at this point in my journey.

@hollie Yay! 😊 Apples Terminal User Guide is a dryer read but could complement the zines. It contains tips and tricks, like how pressing the up arrow key reveals previously typed commands (and lets you rerun them).
