Introduction & goals
On Mastodon, Ellane mentioned that she'd like to 'learn the command line'. What she told Johnny was that she wants to:
- understand what the command line IS
- learn how not to stuff up your machine
- learn what language it speaks
- understand what commands DO, where things go
- know what Homebrew is, why people use it, what it does, and how it does it.
Also she has a 'burning ambition to learn plain text accounting (hledger, specifically)'. So that's where we're headed.
And so that's what we're going to do here. From zero to hero: I'm going to teach Ellane the command line.
