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 Tuesday, 04 February 2025 from 10:00am-4:00pm NZT.

The focus of this workshop is on working with the command line, also called The Shell. This training event is open to New Zealand based researchers.

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.
