Cute little puzzle for teaching basic command line usage

Project description

# Introduction

terminal-quest is a [gamified](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification) introduction to basic command line navigation and file manipulation skills. It is implemented in the python programming language but requires no programming other than entering commands on a command line.

terminal-quest is a series of puzzles that can be solved with only the commands cd, ls, man, cat, head, tail, grep, file globbing (* character), and output redirection (> character).
