Time for some basic navigation! 34 | 35 | - **ls** - list directory contents 36 | - **cd** - change working directory 37 | - **touch** - change file access and modification times (creates a file) 38 | - **rm** - remove directory entries 39 | - **cp** - copy files 40 | - **mv** - move files 41 | - **clear** - clear the terminal screen 42 | 43 | Now that you've got those under your belt, we need to talk about command options- or *flags*. Flags are how we specify additional parameters to our commands similar to passing arguments to a function in programming. 44 | 45 | For example: sure, **ls** lists directory contents but what if I want to see hidden dotfiles? I can include the **-a** option: 46 | 47 | ```shell 48 | ls -a 49 | ``` 50 | 51 | Want a "long" listing with lots of additional system information? 52 | 53 | ```shell 54 | ls -l 55 | ``` 56 | 57 | But how do we familiarize with all of these hidden options? *...I'm glad you asked.* 58 | 59 | - **man** - format and display the on-line manual pages 60 | 61 | # Time to wing it 62 | 63 | Before we move on, you should copy this document onto your desktop: 64 | 65 | ```shell 66 | curl --location goo.gl/NU44jC > ~/Desktop/unix.txt 67 | ``` 68 | This will prove a great resource for you to refer back to if you ever get lost or have any nagging questions after the workshop. 69 | 70 | > I got you. -Steven Kneiser 71 | 72 | ## My Mysterious & *Undisputably Dope* Project (10 minutes) 73 | 74 | Finally! Time to do something both tangible *and dope*. First thing we're gonna do is remote into a school server: 75 | 76 | ```shell 77 | ssh your_net_id@arctic.cse.msu.edu 78 | ``` 79 | 80 | After entering your password you should be in your user's home directory (represented by the "**~**"). Next up, we're gonna make a directory for this project called "**web**" and hop right in there: 81 | 82 | ```shell 83 | mkdir web 84 | cd web 85 | ``` 86 | 87 | This seems like the PERFECT place to dump my mysterious & *undisputably dope* file: 88 | 89 | ```shell 90 | curl --location goo.gl/W5GHZd > index.html 91 | ``` 92 | 93 | *Rubs hands together with a devilish grin* 94 | 95 | Now before I give anything away, I want you to run these two commands: 96 | 97 | ```shell 98 | chmod -R a+rX ~/web 99 | chmod 701 ~/ 100 | ``` 101 | 102 | **Congratulations**, you've officially setup your very own student homepage! Don't believe me?
