Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - gsutil and Bash Command Basics

The video tutorial covers essential bash and GS util commands useful for Google Cloud operations. It starts with basic bash commands like LS, CAT, and PWD, explaining their usage in listing directories, viewing file contents, and displaying the current directory path. The tutorial then moves to file manipulation using the touch command and operators for creating and modifying files. Finally, it delves into GS util commands for managing files in Google Cloud Platform, including uploading and downloading files with multithreading for efficiency.
