EP: TERMINAL COMMANDS

Terminal Commands :

 Here in this module i'll be going through some basic commands that may be very useful when   we are using a command prompt/Terminal or some other computer system like linux etc. So I'm currently using a mac book air version where I have got a pre-installed terminal otherwise you can find it in your files in drives/files in your computer system(ALERT: I'm using MAC BOOK AIR TERMINAL)

1. So the first command is cd (which actually stands for change directory

2. ls (it will get the total list in that directory)

3. ls -l(we get the list of  everything in a list)

4. clear(This command is used to clear all the commands in the terminal)

5. pwd(This command is very much used to know in which path we are in or the location we are moving)

6. cd ../(This command is used to go back one step or in other words go back to the previous path or directory)

7. mkdir(We make a directory which means to create a folder on our current directory or path)We cannot directly use this command because we need to pass on some arguments so we can provide any name with this command for example(mkdir kau42)

8. nano(when we use this command it directly creates a folder or an object like inside our named file.we can use this command with some argument and we directly get some window opened in our terminal which is actually meant for the code space)-after entering code click on ctrl+x to save the changes and then enter Y and then enter to write some other commands and the result can be seen in your edited/main file on your desktop for instance.

9. touch(so we have seen the functionality of what nano can do and this is kind of similar function but this command does not contain the coding part so in simple words what we are doing is creating an object or file inside our main file on desktop for instance)-need to enter some arguments to this command like (touch kau42.html)

10. rm(When we want to remove any directory so this command is used instead of manually and this command requires the directory name you wanna remove from the file.)like rm kau42

11. Instead of writing the commands you have already written you can use the shortcut i.e (^UP ARRAOW AND DOWN ARROW)We can get all commands we used previously without any hassle.

So, That's all for today's module, in the next module we will create a web page of your name using only the above commands and without using the long method by pressing right click, then new folder blah blah... So see you in the next module and have a great day!!!
