In this video, we'll walkthrough the basics of Terminal on macOS Monterey. We'll see what a Command Line Interface (CLI) is? How it compares to the Graphical User Interface (GUI). This video is for the absolute beginner, so if you've never used or run into Terminal, don't worry! I'll take you through it, one step at a time.

We'll be going through the concept of directories, how to navigate in and out of them. We'll also be creating directories, text files, editing them using the nano command! Towards the end of the video, we'll discuss how we can delete / remove files and directories - all in one video!
