In this course, you will get the chance to explore the command-line interface (CLI), starting with basics like navigating file systems and working with directories and files. Then, you will use those building blocks to tackle more advanced features and tasks within the CLI. You will also learn to turn basic commands into executable scripts and easily automate common tasks. This course will empower you to put the interface to work, take complete control of your computer, and hack your way to productivity.

Harnessing the Power of the Command-Line Interface

# Using the `mkdir` command

Directories help us organize our files and projects. The `mkdir` command lets us create a directory. Let’s use it to create a directory called “website” in the root directory. At the prompt, assuming we’re still in your root directory, type the following:

```
$ mkdir website
```
# The `ls` command
If the computer’s graphical desktop is visible, and we create the directory in the home directory, we see the directory appear. Otherwise, use the `ls` command to view it:

```
$ ls
```
# The `cd` command
Once we’ve created the directory, we can use the `cd` command to navigate into that directory:

```
$ cd website
```
By running the terminal below, we can see the effect of these commands.
