In my opinion, the most important thing to learn as a newbie in the Linux system is navigating the file system. Files in Linux systems are organized in a hierarchical directory structure, that is, a tree-like pattern of directories or folders. The first directory is called the root directory and it contains files and subdirectories which contain even more files and directories. Linux unlike Windows has a single file system tree regardless of how many storage devices or drives are attached or mounted to the computer. Storage devices are mounted at different points of the tree according to the inclination of the system administrator. Windows on the other hand, has a separate file system for each storage device. Current Working Directory   To display the current working directory, we use the  pwd command (print working directory). By default, when we start a terminal session, our home directory is usually our current working directory. Each user account in a Linux system is

The shell is a program that takes keyboard commands and passes them to the operating system to carry out. It is named a shell because it the outermost layer around the operating system. Almost all Linux distributions have a shell program from the GNU project called bash which is an acronym for "Bourne Again SHell". It was founded by Steve Bourne . To gain access to the shell, we use terminal emulators or as commonly known the terminal. We use them to interact with the shell when using a grahical user interface (GUI). Examples are gnome-terminal which is used in GNOME. Starting a Terminal Session There are various ways to launch the terminal emulator or terminal. 1. Use Keyboard shortcut - Ctrl + Alt + T  2. Launch it from applications menu. Type Terminal in the search bar and hit enter. What appears is called a shell prompt and it appears whenever the shell is ready to accept input. It includes your username@computername followed by your current working director

NAME pwd - print name of current/working directory. It prints the path of the working directory starting from root(/).  SYNOPSIS pwd [option]... DESCRIPTION Print the full filename of the current working directory. It has 2 flags and it takes no arguments. -L, --logical use pwd from environment, even if it contains symbolic links. -P, --physical avoid all symbolic links. If both -L and -P options are used, -L is taken into priority. And if no option is specified at the command prompt, pwd will avoid all symlinks, so -P is assumed. --help  display this help and exit --version output version information and exit Returns zero unless an invalid option is given or the current directory cannot be read. Therefore, 0 = success. Non-zero(any character that is not zero) = failure. NOTE: your shell may have its own version of pwd, which usually supersedes the version described here. So we'll use /bin/pwd instead of pwd alone. Reason : pwd alone means the s
