Console Foundations Extra Credit

What is the correct code for the extra credit on the section " Getting started with console" in console foundations?

4 Answers

So this extra credit assignment wants you to create a directory, then create some .txt files inside of it.

Step 1: Create a new directory: mkdir extraCredit Confirm it's there with ls

Step 2: Change directory into extraCredit: cd extraCredit

Step 3: Create a .txt file. You have some option here. A) Create an empty .txt file, or B) Create one with content. We'll do B

cat >notes.txt then type in your content. Press Control+D to save that file. Confirm it's there with ls and confirm it has content with cat notes.txt

Done! You could fool around with that more to help you get a better understanding, and make it muscle memory.

mkdir <--name of file to create-->

Make sure to omit the <-- --> when typing the name of course.

Just make sure you are in the directory you want to create the sub directory in :)

it's asking me to transfer text files into that directory. Ho do I do that?

use the mv command

mv <--filename--> <--directory for file-->

again, make sure your in the directory that contains the file that needs to be moved, otherwise you will have to use . and / to denote where the file i located

Thanks
