IDE such as Linux

There are classes that require me to use the Linux opperating system. I have never used this before, could we create a tutorial on how to use it?

Use pwd to identify the current directory of your IDE session

Use ls to list the files in the current directory of your IDE session

Use cd and cd .. to change directories in your IDE session.

and commands like these.

Hi There,

That is very cool your interested in learning Linux. It would be nice if Treehouse familiarized people with Linux. They do have some command line tutorials here that can help get you started.

I would recommend looking into downloading Linux on your computer or use another machine. Downloading and using the OS is the best way to learn it. Chances are you'll never go back once you get started. There is already a ton of great stuff on Linux. Youtube "New Boston Linux" for some getting started tutorials.

Also if you get stuck you can post here. I am sure some fellow Linux users will help. The linux community is very helpful.
