Diving Into Bash

Introduction to Linux(Linux 4 n00bs)

Where am I?

 pwd

Make a directory

 mkdir myNewDirectory

See contents of that Directory

 ls

The ls command will list the contents of a directory.

Change Directory

 cd myNewDirectory
 cd ..
 cd /
 cd /home/linux101
 ls -l

Notice that we've added more to the end of the ls command. This is a parameter. You can learn more parameters by prefacing your command with man. i.e. man ls will output the man page of ls

 cd /
 cd ~
 pwd
 ls -l

 chmod 777 myNewDirectory
 ls -l
 rmdir myNewDirectory
