Day - 3 Basic Commands3

To navigate directories, you can use the cd command followed by the path of the directory you want to change to. You can go up one level with cd .., go to the previous working directory with cd -, or go to the home directory with cd or cd ~. To remove files or directories, use the rm command followed by the file or directory name. For empty directories, use rmdir. To remove a directory and its contents, use rm -rf. To copy files or directories, use the cp command along with the source and destination paths. For directories, use cp -r to copy recursively.
