I am not comfortable with the command line. What do you recommend?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For command line beginners, we recommend following a few tutorials to get comfortable. Here is an example of a `UNIX Tutorial for Beginners`_ (Written by M. Stonebank, University of Surrey; Modified by C. Tothill, University of Bristol).

How do I create / edit files on Secretariat?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We recommend using a text editor like `nano`_ or `vim`_ for quickly editing file content on Secretariat. Please follow the links for cheatsheets of useful commands for each.

You may also run the command ``touch [filename].sh`` if you would like to create an empty file called *[filename].sh* in your current directory. After this, you may use your text editor of choice to add / amend the content of the file.
