Activity: Practice Linux Command

Step 1: Log in to PythonAnywhere

1. Go to pythonanywhere.com.

2. Log in to your account.

3. Open a Bash Console from your dashboard.

Step 2: Create 20 Directories/Folders

Once you are inside the Bash Console, execute the following command to create 20 directories. This example creates various types of directories (e.g., documents, music, etc.):

documents

pictures

downloads

music

videos

projects

notes

backups

reports

logs work

templates

drafts

code

images

scripts

tests

archives

configs

keys

resources

Verify the directories were created using the ls command:

This will list all the directories you just created.

Step 3: Add 10 Files to the "documents" Folder

Now, navigate to the documents directory and create 10 files inside it:

file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt file4.txt file5.txt
file6.txt file7.txt file8.txt file9.txt file10.txt

To verify that the files were created, list the contents of the documents folder:

Step 4: Removing Files from the Documents Folder

remove a specific file from the documents folder, use the rm command:

Step 5: Removing Directories

If you need to remove a specific directory, you can use the rm -r command. This removes the directory and its contents recursively.

To remove the documents directory:

rm -r documents

Step 6: Document Your Process on Hashnode

Steps for Documentation:

1. Sign in to Hashnode: Go to hashnode.com and sign in to your account.

2. Create a New Blog Post: Start a new post to document your process.
