os-tutorial is an open source educational project by cfenollosa that teaches the basics of building an operating system from scratch. The repository provides step-by-step lessons starting with bootloaders and moving through kernel development, interrupts, memory management, and system calls. Each tutorial is accompanied by clear explanations, code examples, and references to deepen understanding. The project uses x86 assembly and C to illustrate concepts, making it accessible to students and hobbyists interested in low-level programming. By compiling and running the examples with tools like QEMU, learners gain hands-on experience with OS fundamentals. With its structured lessons and approachable explanations, the repository has become a widely recommended resource for operating system beginners.
