Day 2
The Terminal Isn't Scary
Time to get comfortable with the terminal!
Today's Lesson
The terminal is just texting your computer instead of clicking. Every click you do with a mouse has a text equivalent. Today, you'll learn the three most important commands: `cd` (change directory), `ls` (list files), and `pwd` (print working directory).
Today's Tasks
- 1Open Claude Code in your home directory
- 2Ask Claude Code to teach you how to navigate using terminal commands
- 3Practice: Navigate to 3 different folders using `cd`
- 4Use `ls` to see what's in each folder
- 5Use `pwd` to confirm where you are
Prompt to Use
Teach me how to navigate my computer using the terminal. I want to learn cd, ls, and pwd. Guide me through visiting 3 different folders on my computer.
Expected Outcome
Navigated to multiple folders using only terminal commands.
New Terms
- cd
- ls
- pwd
- Path
- Home Directory
Pro Tip
`cd ..` goes up one folder. `cd ~` goes to your home directory. These two will save you constantly.
Coming Tomorrow
We'll create our first file using Claude Code.
P.S. The terminal feels weird at first. By Day 7, it'll feel natural.
