Linux Crash Course - The head and tail Commands

In the Linux Crash Course series, we'll go over one important foundational Linux topic each episode. This series includes tutorials, demonstrations, and more! In this episode, the head and tail commands are both covered. These commands enable you to view the first and last ten lines of a file. But there's also some additional functionality that we'll explore in this video as well.
