Command-Line Mastery
Solve problems from a shell when your favorite tool is not there.
Curriculum
- Bash: pipelines, process substitution, traps, xargs, awk/sed enough to filter and reshape output.
- PowerShell: pipeline objects, Get-*/Set-* patterns, remoting, formatting vs filtering.
- Windows cmd + built-ins: net, sc, wmic replacements, reg, schtasks.
- SSH: keys, config, jump hosts, port forwards, agent forwarding hygiene.
- Networking: ip, ss, tcpdump, netcat, curl with headers, dig.
- Files/processes/services/logs: find, lsof, ps, systemctl, journalctl, Get-WinEvent.
Rule
The goal is not command recall. It is synthesizing a solution from primitives when the tutorial's tool is unavailable.
