 Command Line in Linux
Linux is a popular operating system that is based on the Unix operating system. It has many
distributions which have different interfaces for installing software, different user interfaces, and
so on. One ting all of the ‘distros’ have in common is that they all have a command line
interface, or terminal. In fact, sometimes there is no user interface except the terminal itself. A
Linux server running a web application on AWS, for example, may only contain the software
required to run the application, and no GUI ‘window’ system at all. It is crucial to learn the
Linux command line if you are going to be a productive Linux user and/or administer a Linux
server.
In a video that plays in a split-screen with the work area, the instructor will walk you through
these steps:
1) Display the home directory from a terminal.
2) List files and directories using ls.
3) Use the cd command to change directories.
4) Use touch, copy, mkdir, and rm to create and remove files and directories.
5) Search for files using find, search for patterns using grep.

1) Ls:-
Ls is a Linux shell command that lists directory contents of files and directories. It provides
valuable information about files, directories, and their attributes.
Code:-
ls
Output:-

2) Mkdir:-
The mkdir command in Linux/Unix is a command-line utility that allows users to create new

Code:-
mkdir <directory_name>
Output:-

3) Rm:-

Code:-
Rm -rf <directory_name>
Output:-

4) Cat:-
Cat command in Linux can be used to display the content of a file, copy content from one file to
another, and concatenate the contents of multiple files.
Code:-
Cat <file_name>
Output:-

5) Cp:-

Cp -f <filename1> <filename2>
Output:-

6) Mv:-
Mv command in Linux can be used to change a directory or a file’s name.

Chmod command in linus can be used to modify the permissions and access mode of files and
directories.
Code:-
Chmod a+<permission> <file_name>
Output:-
Conclusion:-
In this course, we learned using Linux commands to navigate Linux directories, search for files,
search for patterns, create files and directories, and remove files and directories.
