The Unix shell is a powerful tool that allows you to perform complex tasks with just a few keystrokes. More importantly, it helps you combine existing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so you aren’t typing the same things over and over again. Using the shell is fundamental to accessing a wide range of powerful tools and computing resources, including High-Performance Computing (HPC) supercomputers. This workshop will start you on the path toward using these resources effectively by guiding you through the basics of the shell and file systems.
What will be covered:
- Navigating and working with files and directories
- Pipes and filters
- Loops
- Shell scripts
- How to use AI with Bash
What you'll need:
Bring your own laptop and charger. Setup instructions on how to install the SSH tool needed to log into our Unix server will be emailed to all registrants 2 days before the workshop.
This course is open to all Monash staff and all HDR students. To register, you must use your Monash email address.
Monash staff and Graduate Research students register here.
