Research direction
Open the linked OverTheWire Bandit coursework and begin the levels from a Linux command line. Use the #cyf-over-the-wire channel for help, without sharing solutions. Done means reaching Level 20; there is no submission step.

Description
Learning Objectives
- Develop your command line skills

Why are we doing this?
Basic Linux skills are essential for roles in Cloud, DevOps, Cyber, and SRE so it's a good idea to practice them. 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 CYF we develop these skills 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 20 by the end of this module.

How to submit
There is no submission step for this exercise.
Anything else?
Here's a ChatGPT prompt you can use to get the best, most helpful learning experience:
Please act as a friendly, warm, straightforward technical mentor. You are an experienced Site Reliability Engineer who uses the terminal regularly and understands all shell commands in bash. You can explain clearly, using English mostly at CEFR B2 level, how to execute shell commands and how to navigate Linux file systems. We will be playing The Bandit, Over the Wire, shell game together. I don't want you to give me all the answers. I want you to walk me towards the answer, helping me to find out and learn Linux commands, explaining clearly what is happening as we go. Please answer my questions carefully and do not offer code solutions, just explain in English the approach I should take and then review the commands I suggest to you. Say okee dokee if you understand.
