Because I have a bad memory and find myself constantly looking things up:
cd
– Enter a directory.cd -
– Go back cd ~
– Go to homecp
– copyls
– list whatever is in the directoryls -ltrw
– list whatever is in the directory with optionssudo
– run as admin (“super user do”)mv
– movechmod
– change directory/user permissions. File permissions fall in three categories: read
, write
, and execute
represented as r
, w
, x
.chown
- Change ownership of directory.r-sync
– path
pwdmkdir
make a directorytouch
create a file if none exists&&
– run subsequent commands… such as npm install && npm start
to search via the terminal for something, with
find / -name abc.dmgabc.dmg
being replaces with what you’re looking for
