Let’s get practical

Exercise 1 - Folder structure

Create a small bash script that creates the following folder and file structure

myapp
├── data
├── scripts
│   └── code.js
└── notes.txt

At the end of the script show the contents of the myapp folder.

Exercise 2 - A game in CLI

Check out Bashcrawl - a game that teaches you the command line! Follow the instructions to create a binder, then click on Terminal. Play around and read the scrolls, they'll explain everything you need to know.

Exercise 3 - Git practice

1. Fork any interesting open source repository to your Github account.
2. Clone the fork of the code to your computer.
3. Make a small change to one of the files.
4. Commit and push the changes to your Github fork.
5. Check if it worked.

Note: There is no need to create a Pull request to the owner of the repository. This is just a practice.
