Unix commands are the command-line utilities and instructions used to interact with Unix and Unix-like operating systems, covering tasks like file manipulation (ls, cp, mv, rm), text processing (grep, awk, sed), and process management (ps, kill). System administrators, developers, and DevOps engineers rely on these commands for scripting, automation, and efficient system navigation via the terminal. Proficiency with Unix commands is a common baseline skill expected in software engineering and IT roles.
