Lubuntu Terminal Tutorial for Beginners

Moving

6. 6. Moving Stuff

   Next Experiments the Dynamics of Files and Directories
   And in this Moving dimension Files or Directories are taken as the Same.
   * Again you find here the ‘mv‘ Command as a Contraction of ‘Move‘ *
   So now for instance Make and Empty ‘bottle’:

   touch ~/livingroom/bottle

   And then we Displace it in another Room:

   mv ~/livingroom/bottle ~/bedroom/

   Then verify Listing the ‘bedroom’ contents:

   ls ~/bedroom/

   And what you Find? The:

   bottle

   Also if only an empty one, sorry :))

   Again you can Move & Rename at the same time like:

   mv ~/bedroom/bottle ~/bathroom/can

   Here we have magically trasformed an empty ‘bottle’ inside the ‘bedroom’ in an empty ‘can’ inside to the ‘bathroom’.
   And as I said in the introduction the Command for Directories works the Same!
   So now ‘Like Alice in the Wonderland’ we Move the Directory ‘livingroom’ we set into the ‘garden’ in a ‘teapot’ in the bedroom!

   mv ~/garden/livingroom ~/bedroom/teapot

   Patiently Verify it with:

   ls ~/bedroom/teapot

   Finding What?

   Simple :) An Empty Space!
