Hey everyone! I'm a total newbie trying to get the hang of Docker. I've checked out the Docker Learning Center and watched a few beginner videos, but honestly, none of the material feels approachable for someone who's starting from scratch. I understand what Docker is and what containers do, but when it comes to the practical side of things, I find myself lost. For example, the guide suggests cloning a repository and then running a command like 'cd welcome-to-docker', but where exactly do I enter these commands? I feel like a lot of beginner resources assume you already know certain things, and I'm struggling to find guidance that's actually helpful. Also, I'm thinking about building a complex GPS app like Uber in the future – should I consider upgrading to an advanced plan for that? Thanks in advance for any advice or useful resources!

To get started with Docker, you'll need some basic OS skills, like knowing how to use your terminal or command prompt and understanding what it means to clone a Git repository. Unfortunately, Docker tutorials often skip over these basics, assuming you already have that knowledge. But don't worry, there are plenty of beginner-friendly resources out there; you just need to find them!
I thought Docker had its own command prompt! When should I use my OS terminal versus Docker's?
