Learn and practice how
to talk directly to your computer via the command line. The Unix shell is a
powerful tool for using scientific software, working with large datasets, and
controlling remote servers. It is primarily used to manage files and run programs,
and it allows for automation of repetitive tasks. This workshop is a
prerequisite for many of DataLab’s workshops, including Introduction to Version
Control with Git, Reproducible Research for Teams with GitHub, and the Remote
Computing series.
No prior coding
experience is necessary. All participants will need a computer with a Unix
shell scripting program (Terminal, Bash, etc.) installed and the latest version
of Zoom. If you are using Windows, you will need to install additional software
prior to the start of the workshop. More information can be found in the
