Start Terminal Survivor — Free See the journey

No experience required. Your first mission starts with a problem inside your own terminal.

sabit@terminal:~$ cat how-it-works.txt

Most courses teach you what to type.

You watch the instructor. Copy the command. See the expected output. Then you're on your own.

Terminal Academy works differently.

You’re given the problem first.

You investigate.
You try things.
You make mistakes.
You use hints when you’re stuck.
And eventually, you solve it yourself.

Everything happens right inside your own terminal.

The journey

Start with the basics. Keep going until you can figure things out without being told what to type.

✓cd, ls, pwd — finding your way aroundSurvivor
✓cat, echo, nano — reading and writing filesSurvivor
✓mkdir, rm, cp, mv — building and breaking things safelySurvivor

Git, in five tracks

50 missions. You learn Git by working with history, mistakes, collaboration, and recovery, not by memorizing commands.

🔒 Git Survivor13 missions

Stop being afraid of the repository.

Take your first snapshot, stage only what matters, write commits a stranger can understand, read history, ignore the noise, and undo a mistake without panic.

Capstone: turn a messy project into one clean release.

🔒 Git Operator11 missions

Branches are just pointers.

Branch, merge, and survive a real conflict. Pause work mid-task, reset, and fix your last commit, then learn what is safe to rewrite and what is already shared.

Learn the difference between not yet shared and already shared.

🔒 Git Collaborator9 missions

Work with other people without breaking their work.

Clone, meet origin, fetch before you touch anything, pull, push, and handle diverged history and pull requests.

Incident: ship your feature.

🔒 Git Investigator9 missions

Find out what happened, and who changed it.

Search the log, find deleted code, use blame and bisect, choose between merge and rebase, squash messy commits, cherry-pick, and tag releases.

Incident: production broke yesterday.

🔒 Git Surgeon8 missions

Get back what you thought was gone.

Use the reflog to recover deleted branches, escape a detached HEAD, undo a rebase, rescue a single file, survive a force-push disaster, and clean a secret out of history.

Incident: everything went wrong.

Terminal Survivor is free. Complete it, then unlock everything that follows.

Start in your own terminal

Install it, open it, and start your first mission. No browser simulator. You learn by working in the terminal itself.

  1. Open a terminal. On Windows, open WSL.
  2. Paste the block below. It creates a folder, downloads the app and the lessons, and launches Terminal Academy.
  3. Press Enter and start your first mission. Next time, run ./academy.sh from that folder.
  4. Ready for Explorer and Git? Choose [A] in the main menu and paste your activation code.
