The -p option allows mkdir to create a directory with nested subdirectories in a single operation:. The -R option to the ls command will list all nested subdirectories within a directory. Using the shell to create a directory is no different than using a file explorer.
While the shell and the file explorer are two different ways of interacting with the files, the files and directories themselves are the same. Complicated names of files and directories can make your life painful when working on the command line. Here we provide a few useful tips for the names of your files and directories. Spaces can make a name more meaningful, but since spaces are used to separate arguments on the command line it is better to avoid them in names of files and directories.
To test this out, try typing mkdir north pacific gyre and see what directory or directories! Commands treat names starting with - as options. Stick with letters, numbers,. Many other characters have special meanings on the command line. We will learn about some of these during this lesson. There are special characters that can cause your command to not work as expected and can even result in data loss.
If you need to refer to names of files or directories that have spaces or other special characters, you should surround the name in quotes "". We use it in examples because it is one of the least complex text editors. However, because of this trait, it may not be powerful enough or flexible enough for the work you need to do after this workshop.
On Unix systems such as Linux and macOS , many programmers use Emacs or Vim both of which require more time to learn , or a graphical editor such as Gedit.
Windows also has a built-in editor called notepad that can be run from the command line in the same way as nano for the purposes of this lesson. No matter what editor you use, you will need to know where it searches for and saves files. If you start it from the shell, it will probably use your current working directory as its default location.
There are various ways in which using the Control key may be described. For example, you may see an instruction to press the Control key and, while holding it down, press the X key, described as any of:. This means that you can use Control-G to get help and Control-O to save your file. We have seen how to create text files using the nano editor. Now, try the following command:. What did the touch command do?
When you look at your current directory using the GUI file explorer, does the file show up?
