Are you ready in the following chapters will dive deep into the Linux environment, giving you tips and tricks to increase your productivity, make you more comfortable with the command line and automate your tests. Yeah, the course was created on a boon to Linux version 1604, which is the latest long term support version. We chose a boon to because it's the most common Linux distribution out there. It's really simple to use has a lot of graphical tools, and you can find a huge online community ready to answer all of your questions. And most importantly, it's the most supported Linux distribution. This means that companies that produce software, especially when it comes to graphical software, if they offer software for Linux, the first distribution that is supported is usually a boon to that makes it super easy for us to use tools like Skype slack or video.
In your code, although the course was built on a boon to, most of the commands are not going to relate it, so you can easily use another distribution and apply the same lessons. A large part of the course can even be applied to Mac users. Because we can have the same tools installed on Mac, bash, GSH, vim, they all work the same way across Linux and Mac, and with the new release of Windows 10, where support is built in. So tools like z, sh and vim can easily be installed and used before windows 10. There are tools like Chiquita that will let you use the Linux command line in a Windows environment. We recommend you watch this course with an open mind and terminal so you can execute the commands and check their result.
Before we start, you might want to download all the source files from our GitHub repository located here. The course is split into multiple sections. In section one, we'll explore a new terminology show you how to configure any stolid section to concentrates on configuring the show, adding plugins, understanding regular expressions, and working with pipes and assumptions. Everything is then coagulated into a shell scripting lesson. A section of free will work with vim, our recommended editor from configuring it to learning keyboard shortcuts, installing plugins and even using it as a password manager. There are even more videos waiting for you in the next section.
