33 33 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,900 But enough talk, let's now actually do something 34 34 00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:43,690 and we can go about this in different ways. 35 35 00:01:43,690 --> 00:01:45,750 So we can use a separate window. 36 36 00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:48,253 So on the Mac, I'm gonna open up Terminal, 37 37 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,860 All right, now, if you're on windows, 38 38 00:01:52,860 --> 00:01:55,490 you can just right click on the Start button, 39 39 00:01:55,490 --> 00:01:58,270 and from there select the command prompt. 40 40 00:01:58,270 --> 00:02:01,340 So that's how the terminal is called on Windows. 41 41 00:02:01,340 --> 00:02:04,880 And if you're using Linux, well, then, I'm pretty sure 42 42 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,770 that you already know how to use the terminal 43 43 00:02:07,770 --> 00:02:10,230 and how to do all of this stuff. 44 44 00:02:10,230 --> 00:02:14,100 But anyways, this is only one of the ways of doing it, 45 45 00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:16,270 and many times as a web developer, 46 46 00:02:16,270 --> 00:02:18,300 you will use a separate Window 47 47 00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:21,970 like this one, but since we're using VS Code already 48 48 00:02:21,970 --> 00:02:25,250 and VS Code does have an integrated terminal, 49 49 00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:26,793 we can simply use that. 50 50 00:02:27,770 --> 00:02:32,483 So I will close that now and open up the terminal like this. 51 51 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,183 And so here we go. 52 52 00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:39,680 Now here we see that we already have one terminal running, 53 53 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,610 and so that's the one that is looking for changes here. 54 54 00:02:43,610 --> 00:02:45,830 So it's that note process, 55 55 00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:50,830 so that life server tool that we have been using, okay? 56 56 00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:55,430 Now on windows, it's not going to say bash here probably, 57 57 00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:57,270 and that's because the command line works 58 58 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:59,860 a little bit different on windows than it does 59 59 00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:04,310 on Unix based systems like the Mac or Linux. 60 60 00:03:04,310 --> 00:03:06,910 But anyway, most commands are the same 61 61 00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:11,520 and whenever one is different, I will let you know, okay? 62 62 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,380 Now the first thing that you need to know 63 63 00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:17,870 about any Command Line is that you are always in a folder. 64 64 00:03:17,870 --> 00:03:20,420 So right now we are in this project folder, 65 65 00:03:20,420 --> 00:03:23,080 and so that's the beauty of VS Code. 66 66 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,940 So whenever we open a terminal 67 67 00:03:24,940 --> 00:03:29,940 in VS Code, we are always in this project folder itself, 68 68 00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:31,660 and then from this location 69 69 00:03:31,660 --> 00:03:35,810 in the file system, we can move up and down using commands. 70 70 00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:37,760 Now, the first command that I'm going to show you 71 71 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,217 is LS which on Windows is called DIR, 72 72 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,000 which stands for Directory. 73 73 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,350 So on Windows type DIR 74 74 00:03:46,210 --> 00:03:49,580 and on a Unix based system, LS, 75 75 00:03:49,580 --> 00:03:51,710 and so this will then show you the contents 76 76 00:03:51,710 --> 00:03:54,060 of the current folder, all right? 77 77 00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:56,480 And so indeed, that's exactly the files 78 78 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,210 that we have here except for this one here, 79 79 00:03:59,210 --> 00:04:01,470 which starts with a dot, 80 80 00:04:01,470 --> 00:04:04,113 and so that's different but nevermind. 81 81 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,650 Then the next command is CD 82 82 00:04:06,650 --> 00:04:09,230 which stands for Change Directory, 83 83 00:04:09,230 --> 00:04:12,370 and with this, we can go up and down the file tree. 84 84 00:04:12,370 --> 00:04:16,167 For now, let's just go up, and for that, we use dot dot. 85 85 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,320 And so with this, we are now in the desktop. 86 86 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,500 So let's take a look here as well, 87 87 00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:24,780 and so here we see all of the folders 88 88 00:04:24,780 --> 00:04:27,850 that we created before, okay? 89 89 00:04:27,850 --> 00:04:30,870 And so let's now move into one of them, 90 90 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:34,380 so I can write again CD, and then let's say, 91 91 00:04:34,380 --> 00:04:37,170 I want to move into folder 13. 92 92 00:04:37,170 --> 00:04:39,760 So 13-advanced, 93 93 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,690 but I actually don't have to type all of it. 94 94 00:04:42,690 --> 00:04:46,290 So instead I can just hit the tab key 95 95 00:04:46,290 --> 00:04:49,730 and it will then auto complete this path for me. 96 96 00:04:49,730 --> 00:04:52,140 So that's very handy whenever we don't want 97 97 00:04:52,140 --> 00:04:54,240 to write everything by hand. 98 98 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,240 So hit Enter one more time, then LS or DIR on windows, 99 99 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,000 and so with this, we can check out all the files 100 100 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,832 that are in there. 101 101 00:05:04,832 --> 00:05:08,470 So again, three files, and then we also have a folder. 102 102 00:05:08,470 --> 00:05:10,940 So let's go there as well. 103 103 00:05:10,940 --> 00:05:15,940 So CD IMG, and again, let's check out what we have in there. 104 104 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,740 So all of these images, all right? 105 105 00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:22,640 So let's move up. 106 106 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,500 So that's dot dot again. 107 107 00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:27,260 And actually we want to move up two levels. 108 108 00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:32,260 And so here we can then add a slash and then again, dot dot. 109 109 00:05:32,330 --> 00:05:36,340 And so this will move up two levels back to the desktop. 110 110 00:05:36,340 --> 00:05:40,690 So here you see that we are at the desktop, okay? 111 111 00:05:40,690 --> 00:05:44,023 Then we can also clear the console like this, 112 112 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,343 and so then everything disappears. 113 113 00:05:49,211 --> 00:05:52,924 Okay, let's take a look again and as remember one more time, 114 114 00:05:52,924 --> 00:05:54,103 it is DIR on Windows. 115 115 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,350 And so now let's actually go back to our project folder. 116 116 00:05:58,350 --> 00:06:01,170 And again, now I can already auto complete 117 117 00:06:01,170 --> 00:06:04,990 because this part of the string is already unique. 118 118 00:06:04,990 --> 00:06:08,490 So I hit Tab, Enter, and then we are back 119 119 00:06:08,490 --> 00:06:10,700 in our project folder. 120 120 00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:14,090 So to clear this, I can again write clear, 121 121 00:06:14,090 --> 00:06:16,903 but in VS Code, I can also hit Command key, 122 122 00:06:18,050 --> 00:06:19,280 like this. 123 123 00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:21,600 Well, at least it works on Mac. 124 124 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,750 I'm not sure about Windows. 125 125 00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:28,260 So you can also type clear like this. 126 126 00:06:28,260 --> 00:06:31,860 And so now let's actually here create a folder, 127 127 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:36,860 so that's MKDIR and then let's simply call this Test. 128 128 00:06:37,570 --> 00:06:39,690 And so if we check this out now, 129 129 00:06:39,690 --> 00:06:42,600 then here we have a new folder and you can see 130 130 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,380 that here as well, 131 131 00:06:44,380 --> 00:06:47,510 and of course, I could also see it here 132 132 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:48,623 in the file system, 133 133 00:06:50,130 --> 00:06:50,963 right? 134 134 00:06:50,963 --> 00:06:51,796 So there it is. 135 135 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,680 And now back to VS Code actually 136 136 00:06:59,580 --> 00:07:01,223 and let's move there now, 137 137 00:07:03,140 --> 00:07:04,620 clear it again. 138 138 00:07:04,620 --> 00:07:07,740 And now here let's just create some files. 139 139 00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:10,600 So for that, I'm using Touch on the Mac 140 140 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,023 and on windows, it is Edit like this. 141 141 00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:19,300 So let's say touch and then index.html, 142 142 00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:23,940 and then let's also say script.js. 143 143 00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:26,420 Now these are empty files now 144 144 00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:28,760 but we can still check them out here, 145 145 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,210 and we could actually also call or live server here now. 146 146 00:07:33,210 --> 00:07:37,460 So we can say live server and as always I can auto complete, 147 147 00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:42,460 hit Enter and then it will open up in your browser tab, 148 148 00:07:43,270 --> 00:07:45,050 and in this case, it didn't 149 149 00:07:45,050 --> 00:07:47,290 because I'm using another browser. 150 150 00:07:47,290 --> 00:07:50,680 So let me finish this by writing Ctrl+C, 151 151 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,270 then clicking here and doing it again. 152 152 00:07:54,270 --> 00:07:57,140 And so I opened up this command again 153 153 00:07:57,140 --> 00:07:59,833 by clicking the up arrow, okay? 154 154 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,450 And so now here it is, but let's cancel it again 155 155 00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:06,230 because we're not really interested 156 156 00:08:06,230 --> 00:08:08,820 in seeing this empty page. 157 157 00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:11,060 And so again, that is Ctrl+ C, 158 158 00:08:11,060 --> 00:08:12,300 even on the Mac, 159 159 00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:13,553 so not command C. 160 160 00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:17,720 And here I can actually use the arrow key 161 161 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,830 as many times as I want to see my past commands, 162 162 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:25,100 and I can also go back down like this. 163 163 00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:28,100 So let's take a look again at the files we have 164 164 00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:31,430 and we could also add multiple files all at once. 165 165 00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:33,790 And this is actually something pretty useful, 166 166 00:08:33,790 --> 00:08:36,830 and that I do all the time when I need to create 167 167 00:08:36,830 --> 00:08:39,690 like multiple modules at once. 168 168 00:08:39,690 --> 00:08:41,033 So let's say Jonas.js. 169 169 00:08:43,883 --> 00:08:45,923 let's say bankers.JS, 170 170 00:08:46,770 --> 00:08:48,963 and mapt.js. 171 171 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,040 And so now it created these three files all at once. 172 172 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,000 I'm not sure why I wrote JS there 173 173 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,370 but nevermind, of course, JS does not exist 174 174 00:09:00,370 --> 00:09:02,290 but here we now have all these files 175 175 00:09:02,290 --> 00:09:04,384 that we created previously, 176 176 00:09:04,384 --> 00:09:05,323 okay? 177 177 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,150 So we have all these files now 178 178 00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:10,360 but we're not really interested in them, 179 179 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,480 and so let's delete them, 180 180 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,480 and for that, we can use RM on the Mac and DEL on Windows. 181 181 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,903 So script JS for example, and let's say also jonas.js. 182 182 00:09:26,420 --> 00:09:27,870 Let's take a look. 183 183 00:09:27,870 --> 00:09:30,530 And now we only have these three left 184 184 00:09:30,530 --> 00:09:33,240 and let's say that we actually wanted to move one 185 185 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,460 of them to the parent folder. 186 186 00:09:35,460 --> 00:09:38,100 So for that, we can use MV, 187 187 00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:39,560 let's say we want Map T 188 188 00:09:40,420 --> 00:09:42,650 and once again, I hit Tab, 189 189 00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:45,580 and so we need to specify first the name 190 190 00:09:45,580 --> 00:09:47,290 of the file that should be moved, 191 191 00:09:47,290 --> 00:09:51,380 and then the location into which that file should be moved. 192 192 00:09:51,380 --> 00:09:54,150 So what is that location? 193 193 00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:58,010 Well, in this case, we want to move it to the parent folder. 194 194 00:09:58,010 --> 00:10:02,893 And so that is dot dot like this, and then the dash, 195 195 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,400 okay? 196 196 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,163 And you actually already saw it appear here, right? 197 197 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,850 And if we take a look here again, then there it is. 198 198 00:10:14,850 --> 00:10:17,010 If we move to that parent folder 199 199 00:10:17,010 --> 00:10:21,303 and check it out here as well, then there is mapt.js. 200 200 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:24,780 All right? 201 201 00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:28,520 And so now we really don't need that test folder anymore. 202 202 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,710 So let's delete that as well, 203 203 00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:32,583 and for that, we can use RMDIR. 204 204 00:10:34,180 --> 00:10:36,670 So this stands for Remove Directory 205 205 00:10:36,670 --> 00:10:39,973 while the opposite of that remember was MKDAR. 206 206 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,833 So Make a Directory. 207 207 00:10:43,950 --> 00:10:45,890 And so now we just need to specify 208 208 00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:50,660 that test and the directory is not empty. 209 209 00:10:50,660 --> 00:10:54,630 So RMDIR only works for empty directories, 210 210 00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:56,790 at least on the Mac. 211 211 00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:59,480 On windows, I'm not sure how it works, 212 212 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,280 but apparently on the Mac only four empty directories. 213 213 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,300 However, at least on a Mac, 214 214 00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:09,770 we can use another trick to remove a directory. 215 215 00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:13,010 So we can use again RM which we also used 216 216 00:11:13,010 --> 00:11:17,010 to remove files and then we can specify a Fleck. 217 217 00:11:17,010 --> 00:11:19,440 So that's basically an option, which we write 218 218 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,950 with a dash and then a specific symbol or a letter. 219 219 00:11:22,950 --> 00:11:25,967 So in this case, that's R which stands 220 220 00:11:25,967 --> 00:11:29,910 for Recursive and then the name of the directory, 221 221 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:33,540 and so now it recursively basically deleted all 222 222 00:11:33,540 --> 00:11:35,440 the files that are in here 223 223 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,583 and then also the directory itself. 224 224 00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:44,590 And so as you see that folder is now gone, all right? 225 225 00:11:44,890 --> 00:11:48,213 And again, on Windows, I'm not really sure about this one, 226 226 00:11:49,060 --> 00:11:52,410 maybe RMDIR just worked, 227 227 00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:55,620 but if not, well, if you really need it, 228 228 00:11:55,620 --> 00:11:57,200 then of course you can always go ahead 229 229 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,610 and Google how it works on Windows as well. 230 230 00:12:00,610 --> 00:12:03,270 But with this, I think we actually covered everything 231 231 00:12:03,270 --> 00:12:04,430 that we needed. 232 232 00:12:04,430 --> 00:12:08,393 Let's just get rid of that mapt.js. 233 233 00:12:09,570 --> 00:12:12,850 So mapt.js, and again on Windows, 234 234 00:12:12,850 --> 00:12:17,083 that would be DEL for delete, okay? 235 235 00:12:18,530 --> 00:12:20,300 And so with this, we are back 236 236 00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:22,680 to our initial working directory 237 237 00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:24,963 and can now keep going into section. 20498
