Okay so you are in images folder,
You can go back using cd ..
Then you want to go to funny folder inside videos so you can do this in one command: cd Videos/Funny
Or you can do it in two commands: cd Videos (On a new line) cd Funny
You could do it in one command cd ../Videos/Funny
And if like you are in Sad folder inside videos and you want to get to the Desktop: cd ../.. firstly it backs to videos folder then to the desktop folder
Hope this helps to understand the cd command
Step 2 is really simple, but not working. I type “git init” and hit enter and the terminal initializes, but the little box next to step 2 doesn’t turn into a green checkmark or a red X. It just turns to a grey X that I can’t do anything with.
Add ‘personal-website/’ after ‘git init’. It took me awhile to figure that out but it worked and I would guess is correct since I got a green checkmark box. I had a similar problem in another exercise where the only instruction was to type ‘cd’ but the terminal needed additional information.
In my own command line, when i write “git init” i get ‘git’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
How do i initialize the git file?
For anyone who gets stuck on either steps like I have for the past 30 minutes. Use the following the ‘ls’ command to list all of the files in the current directory. You will see a file called ‘workspace’. Use ‘cd workspace’ to navigate to it. Repeat this process for the files ‘daw’ and ‘personal-website’. Once in the ‘personal-website’ directory, you should have passed the first step.
For the second step, use the ‘git init’ command and you will pass the second step.
Go to “cd /home/ccuser/workspace/daw” (not “cd /home/ccuser/personal-website”)!
then create a personal-website HERE (in the daw folder), then cd personal-website, and finally use “get init”
REPEAT AGAIN: when you arrive “ccuser” and use “ls” to see all the folders in there and there will be a personal-website, DOES NOT enter the “personal-website” and use “git init”!. You must enter “workspace/daw” and create “personal-website” (code: mkdir personal-website), enter it and “git init”
can anyone try to explain why it doesn’t work… do I need to create some folder on my local computer or is it completely connected through the browser… a poor explanation from code academy I see all the TIME!
