https://ashleynolan.co.uk/blog/getting-started-with-terminal has some very basic stuff for mac terminal (n.b. these are also largely identical to linux too, so bonus!). No relation to the site, just found it from googling and looks to cover off the essentials.

That will get you started getting comfortable moving around and doing things, but it doesn't go further than the absolute minimum. It will at least get you started and hopefully slightly comfortable if you need to use the terminal for anything else in the future as that is where the real learning comes from. E.g. following a tutorial and they say "type this in the command line" you are now at least a little familiar with it and can google the rest.

Have fun.
