mkdir:​mkdir command in Linux allows the user to create directories (also referred to as
folders in some operating systems ). This command can create multiple directories at once
as well as set the permissions for the directories. It is important to note that the user
executing this command must have enough permissions to create a directory in the parent
directory, or he/she may recieve a ‘permission denied’ error.

ls:​The ls command is a command-line utility for listing the contents of a directory or


directories given to it via standard input. It writes results to standard output. The ls command
supports showing a variety of information about files, sorting on a range of options and
recursive listing.

pwd:​The pwd command is a command line utility for printing the current working directory. It
will print the full system path of the current working directory to standard output. By default
the pwd command ignores symlinks, although the full physical path of a current directory can
be shown with an option.

cd:​The cd Command. The cd command is used to change the current directory (i.e., the
directory in which the user is currently working) in Linux and other Unix-like operating
systems. It is similar to the CD and CHDIR commands in MS-DOS. The items in square
brackets are optional.

have been recently used. The command is simply called history, but can also be accessed
by looking at your . bash_history in your home folder. By default, the history command will
