Educational games to master unix command line?












5














Looking for recommendations, for some simple trainer style games to improve my command line skills.



Could be something similar to https://www.learnshell.org/, or even simpler. At the most basic level, I would be happy to just get a prompt, and feedback, doesn't have to be Ultima Ascension. :)
