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. There is time in Sprint 1 and Sprint 2 to work on this task.
