Linux Basic Commands Here is a list of basic Linux commands: 1.

pwd command:
Use the pwd command to find out the path of the current working directory
(folder) you’re in. The command will return an absolute (full) path, which is
basically a path of all the directories that starts with a forward slash (/). An
example of an absolute path is /home/username. 2. cd command: To navigate
through the Linux files and directories, use the cd command. It requires either
the full path or the name of the directory, depending on the current working
directory that you’re in. Let’s say you’re in /home/username/Documents and
you want to go to Photos, a subdirectory of Documents. To do so, simply type the
following command: cd Photos. Another scenario is if you want to switch to a
completely new directory, for example,/home/username/Movies. In this case,
you have to type cd followed by the directory’s absolute path: cd
/home/username/Movies. There are some shortcuts to help you navigate
quickly: cd .. (with two dots) to move one directory up cd to go straight to the
home folder cd- (with a hyphen) to move to your previous directory On a side
note, Linux’s shell is case sensitive. So, you have to type the name’s directory
exactly as it is. 3. ls command The ls command is used to view the contents of a
directory. By default, this command will display the contents of your current
working directory. If you want to see the content of other directories, type ls and
then the directory’s path. For example, enter ls /home/username/Documents to
view the content of Documents. There are variations you can use with the ls
command: ls -R will list all the files in the sub-directories as well ls -a will show
the hidden files
