key points:

• cp [old] [new] copies a file.
• mkdir [path] creates a new directory.
• mv [old] [new] moves (renames) a file or directory.
• rm [path] removes (deletes) a file.
• * matches zero or more characters in a filename, so *.txt matches all files ending in .txt.
• ? matches any single character in a filename, so ?.txt matches a.txt but not any.txt.
• The shell does not have a trash bin: once something is deleted, it’s really gone.
• Most files’ names are something.extension. The extension isn’t required, and doesn’t guarantee anything, but is normally used to indicate the type of data in the file.
• Depending on the type of work you do, you may need a more powerful text editor than Nano.
