Practice: Move around and Work with Directories

Display your current directory

Change to the /etc directory

Change to your home directory

Change to the /boot/grub directory

Go to the parent directory of the current directory

Go to the root directory

Assuming your current directory is the root directory, list the contents of the root directory

List a long listing of the root directory

Stay where you are, and list the contents of /etc

Stay where you are, and list the contents of /bin and /sbin

Stay where you are, and list the contents of ~

List all the files (including hidden files) in your home directory

List the files in /boot in a human readable format

Create a directory testdir in your home directory

Change to the /etc directory, stay here and create a directory newdir in your home directory

Create in one command the directories ~/dir1/dir2/dir3 (dir3 is a subdirectory from dir2, and dir2 is a subdirectory from dir1)

Remove the directory testdir

If time permits (or if you are waiting for other students to finish this practice), use and understand pushd and popd. Use the man page of bash to find information about these commands.
