The Command Line and You - Part Two
The Power to Create and Destroy So, in Part One we learned how to get around the file system using the command line using cd to move from one folder to another, and pwd to find out where we were. This in itself is very useful, but the real power comes from creating new files and folders, then copying, moving and deleting them. Let's start by creating a new folder to play around in. First, change directory to your Desktop folder with the following command: cd ~/ Desktop note : the screenschots are using Git Bash on a Windows PC, but the same commands will work on a Mac Terminal.
