ls-show files in current directory(color-coded)
dir-show files in current directory
cd <name>-change to certain directory
cd..-go back a directory
; is used to make a string of commands for example:
clear;linux_logo;date;sleep 1h
press <tab> to viw all possible commands
type something<tab> to complete it to the machines ability
for example: on my machine, if i type linux_ <tab> it completes the line as linux_logo or if i'm in a directory and i want to cd to a directory of long filename, i type about half of it and press tab!
halt-unmounts filesystems and stops services and readies the machine for powerdown.
those are pretty much the most basic commands for most shells. there are MANY more commands than that, though
have fun
