Linux command line trainer
Pip holds the seat while you type real commands, then lets go a little more each ride. Mess up and Pip grabs the seat again. Ride clean and you earn the skill.

How the help fades
Every skill is a rung. You climb it one notch at a time, and the help shrinks as you go. Pick a notch to see what the same skill looks like at that level.
Each skill, start to finish
One idea at a time, in plain words, with the exact command you'll use. No wall of man pages.
Every ride builds a fresh practice world with its own files and secrets to find. You can't break anything that matters.
Earned rungs come back on a schedule so the skill is still there on exam day and on the job.
16 tracks · 103 rungs · 370 rides
