🐧Terminal commands that I use every time.

you won't refuse to use t

Your macOS, Windows, Linux the most basic commands are gonna be the same, when every I start with new projects I have to move in to right ▶️ folder and then I use it.

  1. cd
    
    as simple Change Directory, 📂when every you have to move in another folder the cd come very handy, it can take you under and folder or outside a folder ImInImHereGIF.gif
    cd inside-dir
    
    if you want to go back
    cd ..
    
    simple hack🧑🏿‍💻:-
    // if you know the name of the previous directory uses them with cd.
    cd ../back/moreback/anothemoreback
    // now I am at anothermoreback
    

same work with cd inside directory

cd inside/moreinside-inside/anotherinside-inside

code .
code ./foldername
atom .
atom /foldername

If you use the text-editors as I do then this terminal command will make your life ease. writing the name of text-editor (mostly)you can access them, without any GUI


.
// is used to do any stuff in the current directory
and 
./foldername
// is used to do inside the given filename

node /filename
