Workshop: Introduction to Command Line with Bash

NeSI and Genomics Aotearoa will be hosting an online workshop on Introduction to Command Line with Bash on Wednesday 31 July 2024 from 10:00am-4:00pm NZT.

Some of the topics covered in this workshop are:

  • An introduction to the Shell, including why this is such a powerful tool.
  • File navigation, how to navigate directories.
  • How to interact with files - copy or rename files in bulk. Automation reduces user error and saves time.
