File management
Here are some examples on basic file management.
(Note that the commands are in one single line, i.e. don't break them into multiple lines!)
- Change directory, e.g. change to a subdirectory called "mydir":
$cd mydir.- Change to the parent (upper) folder:
$cd .. - Change to the previous folder:
$cd - - Change to your home directory:
$cd ~or solely$cd
- Change to the parent (upper) folder:
- Create directory, e.g. create a directory named "mydir":
$ mkdir mydir - List files, e.g. in the directory "mydir":
$ ls mydir - Create an empty file, e.g. create a file named "myfile":
$ touch myfile - Copy files, e.g. copy a file named "myfile" as "myfile_copy":
$ cp myfile myfile_copy - Move files, e.g. move a file named "myfile_copy" into directory "mydir":
$ mv myfile_copy mydir/myfile_copy - Rename files, e.g. rename a file named "myfile" into "myfile1":
$ mv myfile myfile1 - Remove files (use with caution!!), e.g. remove a file named "myfile1":
$ rm myfile1
