The following table lists a few basic Linux commands:
|
Command |
Description |
|
$ ls |
This command is used to check the content of the directory. |
|
$ pwd |
This command is used to check the present working directory. |
|
$ mkdir work |
We will work in a separate directory called work in our home directory. Use this command to create a new directory called work in the current folder. |
|
$ cd work |
This command will change our working directory to the newly created work directory. |
|
$ pwd |
This command can be used to verify whether we moved to the expected directory. |
|
$ touch hello.sh |
This command is used to create a new empty file called hello.sh in the current folder. |
|
$ cp hello.sh bye.sh |
This command is used to copy one file into another file. This will copy hello.sh as bye.sh. |
|
$ mv bye.sh welcome.sh |
This command is used to rename a file. This will rename bye.sh as welcome.sh. |
|
$ ll |
This command will display detailed information about files. |
|
$ mv welcome.sh .welcome.sh $ ls |
Let's see some magic. Rename the file using the mv command and run the ls command. Now, the ls command will not display our file .welcome.sh. The file is hidden. Any file or directory name starting with . (dot) becomes hidden. |
|
$ ls -a |
This command is used to display hidden files. |
|
$ rm .welcolme.sh |
This command is used to delete the file. |
|
If we delete any file from the GUI, such as the GUI, then it will be moved to the /home/user/.local/share/Trash/files/ all deleted files folder.
