The commands are really simple and if you follow along, its going to be a child’s play. Learning Linux is not that difficult afterall. If you can learn to use Windows, you can do that with Linux as well..;-)

So we are going to discuss basic Linux commands , they are very similar to the commands in DOS.
Let me give you a comparison with the task these commands do.

Now Let me show you the use of these commands..

1) mkdir :- mkdir stands for Make Directory. This command is used to create a new directory or u can say a folder

2) rmdir :- rmdir stands for Remove Directory. This command is used to delete a folder (Note a folder must already be created in order to get deleted)

3) cd :- cd stands for Choose directory . It is used to select/ enter a folder

4) ls:- ls is used to list all contents of a directory.

5) clear:- clear is used to clear the terminal screen ie.. it erases all the text on the terminal screen.
