> Over time most Linux aficionados accrue a sparkling war chest full of hard-won tricks that can come in tremendously handy when a situation demands quick thinking at your terminal. I stashed away many of these bits of knowledge over the years and whenever I had the opportunity to watch over the shoulder of somebody exceptionally well-versed with Linux.

> Today, you're pairing with me at the terminal. We're exploring the depths of Linux filesystem and shell tools and tricks.

> *“But why Command Line Interface (CLI)?“*
>
> \
> I asked this question to the computer professor at my university when he was trying to introduce Linux CLI or Command Line Interface to the class. Like most of the students in my class, almost all of the interaction that I have had with computers was using Windows OS. Accustomed to using ‘\*My Computer’\*in Windows, utilizing weird-looking commands to do simple tasks such as listing files felt an overkill to me.
