Programmers need to perform tasks outside of their development environments. Unfortunately, it seems like many are unaware of some of the super powers that command line tools will afford them with a bit of an effort to learn. This workshop/dojo will be a general survey of the classics as well as newer replacements that will make your life easier once you start to adopt them in your tool belt.
We will cover tools to help with pattern matching, finding things, processing text, working with remote systems, and much more.
