Answer 1

Answer:

We now know how to explore files and directories, but how do we create them in the first place?

Step one: see where we are and what we already have

Let’s go back to our data-shell directory on the Desktop and use ls -F to see what it contains:

$ pwd

/Users/nelle/Desktop/data-shell

$ ls -F

creatures/ data/ molecules/ north-pacific-gyre/ notes.txt pizza.cfg solar.pdf writing/

Create a directory

Let’s create a new directory called thesis using the command mkdir thesis (which has no output):

$ mkdir thesis

As you might guess from its name, mkdir means ‘make directory’. Since thesis is a relative path (i.e., does not have a leading slash, like /what/ever/thesis), the new directory is created in the current working directory:

$ ls -F

creatures/ data/ molecules/ north-pacific-gyre/ notes.txt pizza.cfg solar.pdf thesis/ writing/
