To communicate between computer and ourselves we use shell. Shell can be GUI (graphical user interface) and CLI (command link interface).

CLI in mac called as terminal(shell). It is the text input interface software. In mac there are two types.

  1. bash-shell ===> old version
  2. zsh (z-shell) ===> new version

zsh commands

  1. pwd = print working directory
  2. ls = list directory
  3. cd <folder_name> = cd stand for change directory (we can use cd to navigate between folders)
  4. cd ~ = change directory to root directory
