    Regarding your comment at 2:18 about -nix and windows, cygwin.com dates back to 1999, and I've been using it since almost day-1. It rides on top of Win, and includes a GUI on top of that. I NEVER use the 'DOS box' for anything command line related (except in emergency) because the feature set is extremely limited and kludgy. UNfortunately there's no Mac version, and probably won't ever be. If you ever want to try a -nix system, OpenBSD is designed for security, all services are disabled by default, and with a few prompts at install time can be running in 10 minutes.
    The git-bash works, but all the color stuff they do is weird and uncomfortable. All I want for a command line is black on white. Maybe I could change a config file or something but I don't like that they put it in there in the first place. Other than that it works.
    Thanks for these vids. They're excellent because they stay ON TRACK, despite you obvious need for your meds script to be renewed. 😉 KIDDING!! Enthusiasm is a good thing. 🙂 I've viewed dozens of others over the past few weeks. The biggest problem with all of them is that they claim to be beginner tutorials but always very quickly drift off into diagonals such as 'do this, but don't do that because another odd thing might happen, unless this third thing doesn't happen in which case this fourth thing might work.' Beginners don't want or need that. All they need are the facts, Max. Vids have been excellent so far and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. You REALLY know your shti.

    On Windows use the command "explorer ." to open the current working directory instead of "open .".

    If you're using git bash on windows you can use "explorer" instead of "open" to open up the File Manager.

    ls -all ? is that just a way to remember it? I'm sure you're passing 'a' & 'l' & 'l' to ls so 'l' is repeated. Generally I do ls -la (on linux) and get the same result.

    sir , in recent live video session you said something about a chatting place for all p5.js learners/users. I have found https://gitter.im/ to be a good place to create a room to chat. Have a look if you like it. It also has pretty good notification settings . I also tweeted regarding this but at the cost of that character limit.So writing again xD
