    I’m not a programmer at all, so anything that involves typing commands is going to baffle me!

    When I was in college in the 1990s, non-STEM students regularly learned enough of the Unix command-line to:

    • check their email with pine
    • chat with talk or on IRC
    • write their home page in HTML using pico or joe editors

    The command line is something that millions of people have learned; and you can, too!
