This Linux tutorial covers shell builtins, or the 60 commands that come built-in to the bash shell. We cover shells, with links to helpful articles, and bash, the most used shell for the Linux platform.

Find all code examples and the video script here:

Here we compare methods for searching for both builtins and non-builtins. With builtins we use the type command, bash command and help command. And for short form help on regular commands we point to whatis –help and the man command. We also practice with commands: whatis, clear, ls, wc, less and exit.

Also included is our stack which includes: Debian Linux, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Python for data analysis (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy) and presentation tools for the user experience such as Matplotlib, HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
