Files & Folders

Create, move, copy, and delete files and folders from the terminal. Be careful with rm — deleted files do not go to the trash. Always double-check before deleting.

TERMINAL
# Create a folder
mkdir my-project

# Create an empty file
touch index.html

# Copy a file
cp index.html backup.html

# Move or rename a file
mv index.html home.html

# Delete a file
rm backup.html

# Delete a folder and everything inside
rm -rf my-project
