Greetings #Lunuxeros, members of the #Linux&Free Software community and the entire #Linux community in #Hive, welcome to a new post of #Fridaysdescritorio.

This Friday, we start, with the fifth and penultimate part of the course, on the handling and use of the Terminal. In this part of the course we are going to learn how to create, move and delete directories and files. And for the last part, which God willing and everything is going well would be next week, we would see the "alias" command and with that, I think we would have the basics to be able to work and get to know the work more and more through the #Linux terminal.

It is good to remember before continuing, that we should always exercise what we are learning and more, knowing that if we manage to handle the Linux terminal well, if we learn its management, we can comfortably move on servers and studying a little more, we can manage them, which would be excellent, if you are interested in the topic in the work area, more than being a user.

Let's get into the topic, when we want to create a Directory through the terminal, we are going to do it, using the ‘make directory’ command that is summarized like this in the ‘mkdir’ terminal.

Now, let's make an example; let's imagine that we received a series of digital Latin music albums and in addition to that we were given a list with the names of the songs and the authors.

And to have everything organized, we want to create a Directory, where to save our information, so to do it, we are going to create a Directory called "Musica_Latina", which will be inside the Music Directory.

So here we will see two ways to make the directory, one that we could call internally, which would be to create the Directory, inside the Music Directory and an external one, which would be the creation of the directory from the place where we are in the directory tree in the terminal.

Let's get to it.

To create the Directory from inside as the example says we are going to do the following steps.

• We will open the terminal and go to the Music Directory and there we will create the Music_latina Directory
• We use the ‘mkdir" command and create the directory.

Now we are going to see it in the terminal in the image below.

Now, to create the directory from the outside, we will do the following.

• We'll start the terminal.
• We will use the ‘pwd" command to see where we are located.
• From the location where we are, we are going to create the directory "Musica_Latina‘ in the Music directory through the command ’mkdir" and the path of the directory to be created.

Let's look at the image.

As for the files, in the same way as the directories, we can create them from inside the directory, or from outside the directory, if we are going to create it inside the directory, we simply use the command "cd + Music‘ and when we are in music, we are going to use the command ’touch".

If we are going to create the file from outside, we simply use the "touch" command and place the path, as we saw in the previous example.

Before moving on to the image and seeing it from the graphical point of view, we must remember, that to create a directory we must use the ‘mkdir’ command and that to create a file, we must use the ‘touch’ command.

Now we will create the file "Canciones_Authors.txt’

See image:

Very well, we already know how to create files and directories, now we will see how to move them, to do so, we must use the ‘move" command that is used with the acronym "mv".

Now, I'm going to create a file called "test1.txt’I'll have it in the main directory and pass it to the directory we created in the exercise, which is Latin_music.

Let's go to the image.

Now we know how to create files and directories, and how to move files and directories, now let's learn how to delete files and directories through the terminal.

To delete the files, we are going to use the ‘remove’ command that we reduce it to the acronym ‘rm’ and to delete the directories we must use the ‘rm joined to the -rf attribute’ command.

Let's see how it is done in the picture.

I say goodbye community, already with this week's workshop we have learned how to create, how to move and how to delete, files and directories through the terminal.

Next week we will finish this course, when we will explain the "alias" command that allows us to create commands, to work more comfortably in #Linux.

Any questions please leave them in your comments.

Thank you very much for reading me.
