## Title_HERE ## Command,What it does sudo ...,"Run any command with ""Admin"" privileges.

Finding Your Way (Navigation) Think of this as your "File Explorer," but without the icons. pwd (Print Working Directory): Tells you exactly where you are standing right now. ls: Lists everything in your current folder. Pro-tip: Use ls -la to see hidden files and details like file size. cd [folder]: Change Directory. (e.g., cd /var/www). cd ..: Go back "up" one folder. cd ~: Take me home (back to your user’s main folder) 3. File & Folder Sorcery mkdir [name]: Make a new folder (directory). touch [filename]: Create a blank new file. cp [source] [destination]: Copy a file. mv [source] [destination]: Move a file (also used to rename files). rm [filename]: Remove/Delete a file. Careful: There is no "Recycle Bin" in Linux. To delete a folder: Use rm -r [foldername]. 4. Editing Files (The "Nano" Way) Since you don't have Notepad, you’ll use Nano. It’s the most beginner-friendly text editor. Type nano filename.txt. Type your changes. To Save: Press Ctrl + O, then Enter. To Exit: Press Ctrl + X. 5. System Vitals (Is it crashing?) htop: A colorful, real-time view of your CPU, RAM, and running tasks. (If it's not installed, run sudo apt install htop). df -h: Shows how much disk space you have left in "human-readable" format (GB/MB). ip a: Shows your IP address (look for inet under your network adapter). exit: Closes the SSH connection. Three "Life-Saver" Shortcuts Tab Completion: Type the first three letters of a folder or command and hit the Tab key. Ubuntu will finish the word for you. If it doesn't, you probably have a typo! Arrow Up: Pressing the Up arrow scrolls through your previous commands so you don't have to re-type them. Clear: Type clear (or press Ctrl + L) to wipe the screen of clutter and start at the top again.
