  The command line is precisely trying to address this, providing not apps but commands that are flexible and can be stitched together so that most needs are cover. Think of it like Lego blocks made out of text, that do stuff to your files.

      Depends how you learn and what are your goals but I can recommend :

      • to try right NOW risk free www.terminaltutor.com
      • have a cool booklet wizardzines.com/zines/bite-size-command-line/ and wizardzines.com/zines/bite-size-bash/ with matching examples github.com/jvns/shell-examples

      … yet IMHO the real fun comes when you apply YOUR commands to YOUR files.

      So yes, please do try in a safe sandbox first then when you want, when you are not rushed by a project start a terminal right there from the comfort of your desktop, then PLAY with your files after doing a backup. Trust me it won’t just be fun, it will be truly empowering.

      When you get stuck, come back here and do ask.
