This is your file system

You already know this screen. You have been opening these with a mouse for years. Documents. Downloads. Pictures.

Every one of those folders is a room in your computer. This is the building.

The terminal is another door into that same building. You get there by typing instead of clicking.

So when you type into the black screen, this is what changes. The folders it talks about are these folders, right here.

Nothing is hidden from you. It is one computer, told two different ways.

Next time, we build a new room from the black screen. Then we come back here and find it.

That is your terminal tip for today.
