In this 1-hour long project-based course on Linux: Use Vim to Edit an HTML Document, you will be working entirely in the Bash shell and using powerful VIM commands to learn how we can fully work with files without the need of an IDE or text editor GUI. You will be going through a full workflow, from entering, and exiting VIM, saving and quit without save, to powerful copy, paste and search and replace commands which will allow us to work with single words, whole lines and even chunks of text. You will no longer be confused over the various modes in VIM, and you will be able to comfortably work with files of any size.
