https://dresa.org.au/materials/basic-linux-unix-commands
A series of eight videos (each between 5 and 10 minutes long) following the content of the Software Carpentry workshop ["The Unix Shell"](https://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/).
Sessions 1, 2 and 3 provide instructions on the minimal level of Linux/Unix commands recommended for new users of HPC.
1 – An overview of how to find out where a user is in the filesystem, list the files there, and how to get help on Unix commands
2 – How to move around the file system and change into other directories
3 – Explains the difference between an absolute and relative path
4 – Overview of how to create new directories, and to create and edit new files with nano
5 – How to use the vi editor to edit files
6 – Overview of file viewers available
7 – How to copy and move files and directories
8 – How to remove files and directories
Further details and exercises with solutions can be found on the Software Carpentry "The Unix Shell" page (https://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/)

Three videos on miscellaneous aspects of HPC usage - useful reference for new users of HPC systems.
1 – General overview of different file systems that might be available on HPC. The video goes through shared file systems such as /home and /scratch, local compute node file systems (local scratch or $TMPDIR) and storage file system. It outlines what users need to consider if they wish to use any of these in their workflows.
2 – Overview of the different directories that might be present on HPC. These could include /home, /scratch, /opt, /lib and lib64, /sw and others.
3 – Overview of the Message-of-the-day file and the message that is displayed to users every time they log in. This displays info about general help and often current problems or upcoming outages.
