Terminal

A text based interface to interact with your computer using typed commands.

Detailed Explanation

The Terminal (also called command line or CLI) is a text-based interface for controlling your computer. Instead of clicking icons, you type commands. It feels intimidating at first, but developers use it constantly -- running servers, installing packages, using Git, and deploying apps.

The terminal is integrated into most IDEs and code editors like VS Code. SSH lets you use the terminal on remote servers. Claude Code works directly in your terminal as a pair programmer. Learning basic terminal commands is one of the first steps in becoming a developer.
