Terminal Tools
Terminal tools refer to a collection of command-line utilities, shells, and text-based interfaces used for interacting with operating systems, automating tasks, and managing software development workflows. They include shells like Bash and Zsh, command-line utilities such as grep and sed, and terminal emulators like iTerm2 and Windows Terminal. These tools enable developers to execute commands, navigate file systems, run scripts, and perform system administration tasks efficiently without a graphical user interface.
Developers should learn terminal tools to streamline development processes, automate repetitive tasks, and gain deeper control over their systems, especially in server environments or when working with remote machines. They are essential for tasks like file manipulation, text processing, version control operations (e.g., Git commands), and deploying applications, making them critical for DevOps, system administration, and backend development roles.
