Introduction
The command line interface is run in a terminal (or prompt). It is the direct interface with your computer. There you are able to do the same things are you are able in a graphic interface such as visiting a folder, reading and writing files.
But the command line interface allows you access to a number of other programs which are really useful in a developer's every day life or while participating in CTFs. You should not be an expert, but with little knowledge of the command line you will already be able to do a number of things faster and quicker.
Terminals in Linux and OSX are quite similar, if you run Windows, things are a bit different.
