Learning objectives
- Use Shell Scripting and Dotfiles as targeted reinforcement instead of treating the source books as a separate reading track.
- Choose the smallest source route that resolves the current blocker and then return to the learner path.
- Extract one clarification or example from
missing-semester,the-linux-command-linethat makes the current module easier to execute.
Prerequisites
- A repeatable study routine from Module 01.
- Access to a real terminal and editor on your machine.

optional_deep_dive) - Provides concrete examples of why command composition and a tuned environment compound together.
