# ls

list: list. It shows the contents of the folder we indicate later. For example. If we want to show us what's in / etc:

# Ls / etc

If we do not interpret anything what we want to see is the contents of the folder where we are today:

# Ls

To display all files and folders, including hidden:

# Ls-a

To display the files and folders along with the rights you have, what occupies, etc:

# Ls-l

If we wanted to display the files in the same way as before, but also showing the hidden:

# Ls-la

CD

change directory: change directory. We can use it with absolute or relative paths. On the whole we indicate absolute path from the root (/). For example, wherever we are, if we write in console ...

# Cd / etc / apt ... we take that folder directly.

# Cd / ... send us to the root of the filesystem.

Relative paths are relative to something, and that something is the folder where we are now. For example if we are on / home and want to go to a temporary folder called within our personal folder.

# Cd tu_carpeta / temporal

We avoided the / home early because otherwise we introduce draws on the directory where you are.

# Cd

What this does is it takes you directly to your personal folder and wherever we are, is really very practical, very simple and that not everyone knows.

mkdir

make directory: make directory. Create a folder with the name that you indicate. We may use absolute and relative paths. We can tell you the whole path that precedes the directory we want to create, or if we are in the folder that will contain just enough to put the name:

# Mkdir / home / your_account / cucumber

If we are in / home / your_account ...

# Mkdir cucumber
