Linux commands - 2

More Linux Commands

We need to talk about the composition of command prompt

• ~: The current directory. In bash, which is the default shell, the ~, or tilde, is a special character that expands to the path of the current user's home directory; in this case, it represents /home/ohhhvictor
• $: The prompt symbol. This denotes the end of the command prompt, after which the user's keyboard input will appear

Remember that CD / is to go to the root
