Alter Your File System

Introduction

Now that we can confidently navigate our file system, let's start making changes to our files and folders! In this lesson we'll learn the following commands:

• mkdir
• touch
• open
• cp
• rm
• -R
• -rf
• mv
• man

Important!

For Windows Git Bash users, instead of the command open use the command start. Also, the man command will not work and there is no equivalent substitute.
