DESCRIPTION:\n\nSummary: An introductory workshop to help you get started 
 with the Unix shell\, e.g. typing commands in a terminal and writing a sim
 ple script. It is a powerful tool that allows people to do complex things 
 with just a few keystrokes. More importantly\, it helps them combine exist
 ing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so they aren’t ty
 ping the same things over and over again. Use of the shell is fundamental 
 to using a wide range of other tools and computing resources (including 
 “high-performance computing” supercomputers).\n\n\nObjectives:\n\nNavi
 gate and explore the directory and file system from the command line\nMani
 pulate files and directories from the command line in a programmatic manne
 r\nLink commands and programs together to achieve multiple tasks\nRepeat t
 he same command many times with loops\n\n\n\nAudience: Anyone in a science
 \, engineering or technical role who has little or no prior experience wit
 h the command line. This is a lesson for beginners and novices. If you’r
 e already comfortable manipulating files and directories from the shell\, 
 searching for files with grep and find\, and writing simple loops and scri
 pts then this lesson is probably too basic for you\, but you could look at
  the shell-extras online material.\n\n\nPrerequisites: If you have stored 
 files on a computer at all and recognise the word “file” and either 
 “directory” or “folder” (two common words for the same thing)\, yo
 u’re ready for this lesson.\n\n\nCourse content: https://swcarpentry.git
