Introduction

What is a terminal

A terminal is a text-based interface that allows users to interact with their computer's operating system by entering commands. It provides direct access to system functions, enabling tasks like navigating files, running programs, and managing processes. Using a terminal is efficient for performing tasks quickly, automating repetitive processes, and accessing powerful system functions that may not be available through graphical interfaces. It's especially useful for developers, system administrators, and power users who need precision and control over their workflows.

It sends these commands to the system's shell, which interprets them and executes the requested actions, such as navigating directories, managing files, or running programs. The terminal displays the output of these actions, providing direct feedback to the user.
