adding "command --help" to 01-introduction lesson...or to the cloud lessons #151
Comments
+1 |
Thank you @ryanpeek and @raynamharris for this issue. I think it could be very useful to include help and man, similarly to what is taught in the shell lesson in swc. Would you be willing to prepare a pull request? |
Ah yes, the never-ending dilemma of when to introduce the cloud, and that is a whole other issue. Given that people might choose early or later, I would say add @ryanpeek wanna give this a shot for your instructor checkout? |
Let's talk more about an organized set of PR's for these fixes this
fall...I'll have some more time and would be happy to help fork/PR some
suggestions/revisions.
Thanks!

I'm setting up the agenda for the CAC, which will meet on 24 and 25 September. I will add to their agenda the question of the order of the shell vs cloud lessons. The content around |

@ErinBecker is there any update on the ordering of the lessons? Also, there's an issue for this open in Genomics Workshop (datacarpentry/genomics-workshop#124) - it probably makes sense to have the discussion about lesson ordering there instead.
It looks like this was introduced in #271, but a discussion of |
Sorry for the very delayed response to your question @p-j-smith. We had a transition in the Genomics Curriculum Advisory Committee in the past couple of months. The new chair is @naupaka so pinging him here to look into adding this to their next meeting agenda. |
We're teaching the genomics workshop now at DIBSI in Davis...one thing that popped up relates a little bit to the order of the lessons and also to users who are using gitbash for the command line. We went through the connecting to the cloud lessons and configuring the cloud before we jumped into the shell lessons. Unfortunately there's not much in the cloud lessons on why/how we are using commands and flags, or how to figure them out (i.e., "man" or "--help"). We also discovered some folks couldn't use "man" in gitbash, but "--help" did work.
Solution
We'd like to suggest adding an either/or sentence regarding "man" and "--help", and potentially a sentence or two about why/how to use these to look up a command. It would also be good to add the link to the man webpages (something like: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_section_1.html).
Along these lines, do folks feel the lesson order makes sense (cloud followed by shell)?
