Using Bash in GitHub Codespaces

“

- [Instructor] Here in my code space for this course, I'll need to do a little bit of rearranging now and then. We'll mostly be working here in the terminal so I'll usually have that taking up most of the screen. We'll also be working with a few script files and though I'll be editing them with a VS code editor, you could use command line editing tools in the terminal like Nano or Vim if you prefer those. And if you want to install other software, the user account that we're using here has administrator privileges. Managing and configuring this system isn't the focus of the course though. I want to point your attention to the markdown file called snippets.md here. I'll double click it and open it up, and then I'll open it in preview mode so it looks a little nicer. And I'll right click on its tab and choose pin. This will keep the file more easily available throughout the course. This snippets file contains the commands that I'll use in the course, and while I'll be typing most of them in the terminal as we move forward, I will refer back to this document to copy and paste longer sections of text. I recommend you do the same to help avoid typos. But if you want to practice typing, that's fine too. This code space includes a few extensions for providing debugging, formatting, and other useful features when working with Bash. If you don't choose to use code spaces, that's fine, and you can follow along on a system with a Bash shell running Bash four or newer. If your terminal goes away or is hidden, which is the case here on my screen, I can reopen it by clicking this three lines icon in the top left. Going to view, and choosing the terminal.
