This guide will teach you the basics of the command line. It's aimed at beginners, and covers enough to get you up and running.
It's specifically for Debian based distros, like Ubuntu, Elementary, Raspbian etc. Most of the commands will work on other, non-debian systems, but some will be a bit different, so do your research.
If you want to test out the commands without worrying about messing your system up, the easiest way is to grab a Raspberry Pi and load up Raspbian.
