Navigasi Menggunakan CLI - 2 Command untuk Navigasi

Introduction

This tutorial covers basic navigation using the Command Line Interface (CLI) with a focus on two essential commands. Mastering these commands is fundamental for anyone looking to efficiently interact with their computer's file system through the terminal.

Step 1: Understanding the Current Directory

To begin navigating in the CLI, you first need to know your current location within the file system.

• Use the command pwd (print working directory) to display the path of your current directory.
• This command is crucial because it helps you understand where you are before moving to another directory.

Practical Tip

• Regularly check your current directory with pwd to avoid confusion when executing commands.

Step 2: Listing Files and Directories

Once you know your current location, the next step is to view the contents of that directory.

• Use the command ls to list all files and folders in your current directory.
• You can add options to ls for more detailed information:
  • ls -l provides a long listing format, showing permissions, owner, size, and modification date.
  • ls -a displays hidden files as well.

Common Pitfalls

• Forgetting to check the current directory can lead to running commands in the wrong location.
• Be cautious with spaces in filenames; use quotation marks if necessary.

Step 3: Changing Directories

To navigate to a different directory, you will use the cd (change directory) command.

• Syntax: cd [directory_name]
• For example, to move to a folder named "Documents", you would type:

  cd Documents
  

• To go back to the previous directory, use:

  cd ..
  

Real-World Application

• Use cd to move through your file system efficiently. Knowing how to navigate quickly can save time when managing files.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to use the pwd, ls, and cd commands for effective navigation in the CLI. Regularly practicing these commands will enhance your command line skills and make file management much easier. As you become more comfortable, explore additional commands and options to further improve your CLI proficiency.
