2.2 Navigating the File System

Linux organizes files in a hierarchical structure:

/ → Root directory
/home/user → Personal files
/etc → Configurations
/bin, /usr/bin → System commands

Special Shortcuts:

. → Current directory
.. → Parent directory
~ → Home directory

Key Commands:

pwd                  # Show current directory
ls -l -a             # List files in long format, including hidden files
cd Documents         # Change directory
mkdir projects       # Create a folder
