UNIX 102

This is a continuation of the Unix10X series of seminars that cover the use of *nix environments, largely through interacting with a command line shell. In this instalment we will be covering some of what the School of Computer Science has left out of their introduction to the Command Line / Bash (from cs246), as well as a brief introduction to having a useful prompt.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Lost Bash: fancy expansion, arrays, and shopt
• The File System is scary: your file names contain white space and newlines
• Where Am I: A brief introduction to prompt customization
