terminal-quest 1.3.2

Cute little puzzle for teaching basic command line usage

Introduction

terminal-quest is a gamified introduction to basic command line navigation and file manipulation skills. It is implemented in Python but requires no programming beyond entering commands on the command line.

terminal-quest is a series of puzzles that can be solved with only the commands cd, ls, man, cat, head, tail, grep, file globbing (* character), and output redirection (> character).
