Linux for Beginners.
BASH tutorial.
In this video, we will look at BASH redirection and text manipulation — essential skills for anyone working on Linux. Whether you're a researcher, developer, or just getting started with the terminal, this guide walks you through tools like cat, echo, tee, grep, sed, cut, sort, uniq, and split.
You’ll learn:
- How standard streams (stdin, stdout, stderr) work
- Using tee to both view and save output
- Basic pattern searching with grep and regular expressions
- Modifying text in files using sed
- Extracting and manipulating columns using cut
- Finding unique values and sorting data using sort and uniq
- Splitting large files into smaller chunks using split
