Navigasi Menggunakan CLI - Introduction

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the basics of navigating using the Command Line Interface (CLI). Understanding CLI is essential for developers and tech enthusiasts, as it allows for efficient file management, system navigation, and executing commands without a graphical interface. By the end of this tutorial, you will feel more confident using CLI for various tasks.

Step 1: Open the Command Line Interface

• Windows Users:
  • Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
  • Type cmd and press Enter.
• Mac Users:
  • Open Finder, navigate to Applications, then Utilities, and select Terminal.
• Linux Users:
  • Use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T to open the terminal.

Step 2: Understand Basic Commands

Familiarize yourself with these fundamental commands to navigate effectively:

• pwd: Displays the current directory path.
• ls: Lists files and directories in the current location.
• cd [directory]: Changes the current directory. Replace [directory] with the target directory name.
• mkdir [folder_name]: Creates a new directory. Replace [folder_name] with your desired folder name.
• rm [file_name]: Deletes a specified file. Be cautious, as this action is irreversible.

Step 3: Navigating Directories

• Use cd .. to move up one directory level.
• To return to your home directory, use cd ~.
• Use cd - to go back to the previous directory you were in.

Step 4: File Operations

Learn how to manage files using these commands:

• Copying Files:
  • Use cp [source] [destination] to copy files from one location to another.
• Moving Files:
  • Use mv [source] [destination] to move files or rename them.
• Viewing File Content:
  • Use cat [file_name] to display the contents of a file in the terminal.

Step 5: Using Command Line Help

If you need assistance with commands, use the --help flag:

• Example: ls --help will provide usage information about the ls command.

Conclusion

You have now learned the basics of navigating using the Command Line Interface. Key commands such as cd, ls, and file management operations are foundational skills that will enhance your ability to work effectively in various operating systems. As a next step, practice these commands in your own environment to build familiarity and confidence.
