Shell basics

This project took me on an introductory crash course in the Shell. I learned how to navigate directories using cd, pwd, ls, how to look around using ls, less, and file, and how to manipulate files with cp, mv, rm, and how to create directories with mkdir. I also practiced working with the type, whch, help, and man commands, implementing wildcards, reading man pages, creating links with ln, and using keyboard shortcuts in Bash.
