File Management

There are different ways to create a file -

vim [filename]
touch [filename]
cat > [filename]

[! when using 'cat' command, press Ctrl+D to save. '>>' to append to an existing file]

To create a directory

mkdir [directory_name]


To create multiple files using touch

touch filename{1..10}

[! this option will work with mkdir command as well]

To copy a file

cp [source_file] [target]


To copy a directory

cp -r [source_directory] [target]


To move/rename a file or directory

mv [source] [target]
mv [old_name] [new_name]


To delete a file

rm [filename]


To delete a directory

rmdir [directory_name]

 [! this works only on empty directory]

rm -rf [directory_name]

[! this works even on directory with contents]
