Command Cheatsheet
The following is a list of standard commands in cmd on Windows or Bash on *nix systems. It’s by no means a comprehensive list - these are just to help you
Sometimes the commands I’ll show (which are used for navigating around on Linux or Unix based systems like Macs) don’t work in Windows. So here, I’ve put a list of things you might want to do, and the commands in both Windows and Linux.
| Concept | Windows cmd command | Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Run a file | filenme | ./filename |
| Change directory into folder X | cd X | cd X |
| List files | dir | ls |
| Show the current directory | cd | pwd |
| Copy filenamed A to B | copy A B | cp A B |
| Delete file A | del A | rm A |
| Delete folder A | rmdir A | rm -r A |
| Move file A to B | move A B | mv A B |
| Create a folder called A | mkdir A | mkdir A |
