Why are we doing this?

Basic Linux skills are essential for roles in Cloud, DevOps, Cyber, and SRE. Junior Cloud and DevOps roles are growing in the industry; React and fullstack junior roles are becoming scarce. So it’s a good idea to practice Linux skills to make yourself more employable. At the basic level this means using a computer from the command line instead of a GUI. You will learn to use commands to move from folder to folder, to open and edit files, and to get info like the size of a file or its location. At HYF we build this skill by playing a game called The Bandit.

There are many levels, and many more games after The Bandit, but your goal is to get to Level 10 by the end of the next module.

This blog post by Tanner Dolby will walk you through level 1 to 5. Yes, you get the first 5 levels done for you.
