ls -lh —color
list detailed contents of the working directory

cd directory
change to a new working directory

cd ..
go up one directory

mv src dst
move a file or directory

cp src dst
copy a file

nano file
edit a text file

sudo cmd
run any command (editing a file, for example) as the superuser (root/Administrator).

sudo gedit
open a graphical text editor with superuser permission
