# Lets have some command line fun! 💃

---
# Common commands

## The `ls` command
`ls` lists all the files and directories in your current directory.
Example:

```bash
tarikesh@valder:~/tarik/code$ ls
file.txt folder file2.txt
```

## The `cd` command
`cd` changes your current directory. You can think of this as double clicking a folder!

```bash
tarikesh@valdes:~/tarik/code$ cd folder
tarikesh@valdes:~/tarik/code/folder$ cd ..
tarikesh@valdes:~/tarik/code$
```

---
# Common commands

## The `pwd` command
`pwd` prints you current working directory. Meaning it prints the path from the root of the device to your current directory.
```bash
tarikesh@valdes:~/tarik/code$ pwd
/home/t/tarikesh/tarik/code
```

## The `cat` command
`cat` prints the contents of a file
```bash
tarikesh@valdes:~/tarik/code$ cat file.txt
I am what is inside that file!
```

# What you need to do for CPSC 213

---

# What you need for CPSC 213

- A folder named `cs-213` in your home directory
- A folder named `aX` inside the `cs-213` directory for each assignment. Replacing the `X` with the assignment number (i.e Assignment 1 needs an `a1` folder)

```bash
~
└── cs-213
    └── a1

```

---

# Handin ✔️

In order to hand-in your assignments, you would use the `handin` command as follows:

```bash
tarikesh@valdes:~$ handin cs-213 a1
```

And if you'd like to overwrite a submission
```bash
tarikesh@valdes:~$ handin -o cs-213 a1
```

# Hope you have a wonderful term!
