Context: 1337 (part of the 42 network) is a free peer-learning coding school in Morocco with a Tetouan
campus 1 . Its intense Piscine (4‑week bootcamp) covers C programming, Unix shell usage, and Git/
GitHub. Below are key preparation materials (official subject PDFs, tutorials, cheat-sheets) in English.
Each resource is labeled with a brief description and link/PDF as available.
Official 42/1337 Piscine Subject PDFs (C & Shell)
• C00 Module (Piscine): Official 42 C00 subject PDF – 8 basic exercises (e.g. ft_putchar ,
ft_print_alphabet , etc.) for printing characters and numbers 2 . Download: C00 Piscine
PDF (Scribd) 2 .
• C01 Module (Piscine): Official 42 C01 subject PDF – 8 exercises covering pointers and arrays
(functions like ft_swap , ft_putstr , ft_strlen , etc.) 3 . Download: C01 Piscine PDF
(Scribd) 3 .
• Shell00 Module (Piscine): Official 42 Shell00 subject PDF – exercises on basic CLI file tasks and
Git usage (e.g. creating files and using git commit , gitignore ) 4 5 . Download: Shell00
Piscine PDF (Scribd) 4 .
• Shell01 Module (Piscine): Official 42 Shell01 subject PDF – more advanced shell scripts (e.g.
find_sh , count_files , print_groups ) 6 . Download: Shell01 Piscine PDF (Scribd) 6 .
Each official “subject” PDF outlines exercises and submission rules for that module. For example, the
C00 PDF “outlines 8 exercises” involving character/number printing 2 , while the Shell00 PDF “outlines a
series of exercises” on file manipulation 4 .
C Programming Basics
• 42 C Cheat Sheet (GitHub) – A comprehensive C reference tailored to 42/1337 (strict C style).
Described as “a comprehensive guide to … strict C” with many examples and common functions
7 .
• “Everything I Wish I Knew When Learning C” (Tom Mewett’s Blog) – Detailed tips and advice
for C learners (covering compilation, memory, warnings, etc.). The author calls it “a living
collection of … advice” for his C journey 8 .
• Static Libraries in C (Dev.to) – Tutorial on creating and using static .a libraries. Explains that a
“static library is a file containing a collection of object files… linked into the program during the linking
phase” 9 .
• Tutorials & Guides: Other good resources include the K&R C book (not free), TutorialsPoint or
GeeksforGeeks C tutorials (online), and practice exercises from 42/1337 coding challenge repos
on GitHub.
Shell & Command-Line Fundamentals
• GNU Bash Reference Manual – Official GNU manual for Bash (shell). Introduces shell syntax
and features. “This manual is meant as a brief introduction to features found in Bash” 10 .
• Bash Guide for Beginners (TLDP) – A well-known free guide covering Bash basics, scripting,
environment, and common utilities (with exercises).
1
• Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial (PDF) – Beginner-friendly tutorial with examples. “This tutorial is
designed for beginners only and … explains the basics of shell programming by showing
examples” 11 . Covers loops, conditionals, scripts, etc.
• Shell Utilities: Familiarize with command-line tools (e.g. ls , grep , find , sed , awk ). For
example, the Shell01 Piscine tasks include commands like find and file counting 6 . (Online
references like TLDP’s Shell FAQ or Learnshell.org are useful.)
Git & GitHub Basics
• Git Official Site – Describes Git as “a free and open source distributed version control system
designed to handle everything from small to very large projects” 12 . The site also links the free Pro
Git book for an in-depth guide 13 .
• Git Cheat Sheet (GitHub Education) – PDF listing common Git commands (status, add, commit,
branch, merge, etc.). Intro notes that “Git is the free and open source distributed version control
system” powering GitHub 14 .
• GitHub “Hello World” Tutorial – Official GitHub docs for beginners. Teaches the repo-branch-
commit-PR workflow: “GitHub essentials like repositories, branches, commits, and pull requests” 15 .
• Getting Started with Git: Practice basic commands ( git init/clone , git add/commit/
push , git branch/checkout , etc.) and using GitHub (create a repo, pull requests). The Pro
Git book (mentioned above) and Atlassian’s Git tutorials are also excellent free resources.
Each of the above entries includes a link or PDF download, and citations to verify content. This guide
should serve as a comprehensive starting point for 1337 Piscine preparation in C, shell, and version
control 7 4 12 .
