Hi, I taught an intro to unix to total beginners yesterday (in preparation for a bioinformatics hands-on course) in a SWC-inspired manner, without actually using the material. I then sent them an email explaining that they could learn more and practice using the novice unix material at http://software-carpentry.org/v5/novice/shell/index.html. However, it struck me that this material, which rid built on a set of files and folder in the bc repo, doesn't really stand on its own. What I mean is, if a learn wants to follow the material, using the files and folders in https://github.com/swcarpentry/bc/tree/master/novice/shell, they need to:
- download the entire repo as a zip file - unzip it to a location they can find it again (e.g., Desktop) - open their terminal - write cd Desktop/bc-master/novice/shell/filesystem/users/nelle and they are ready to start. (Assuming they don't know how to 'git clone' the repo). Is it an idea to provide such instructions for people wanting to use the material on their own, or practice after a bootcamp?
