Find Your Way: Navigate to the Attic

EasyLinux Fundamentals10-15 min
The brief

Your home directory has grown a little neighborhood: a practice/ area with rooms inside rooms, and a couple of decoy paths to make it interesting. Somewhere in there is practice/attic/boxes — the deepest room. Your mission: starting from home (/root), walk there with cd — one step at a time or in one jump, your choice — look around with ls as you go, and leave proof you made it: create an empty file named done.txt inside the boxes directory (the touch command makes empty files: touch done.txt). Then find your way back home with cd ~.

What you'll do
  • Explore the tree under /root/practice with ls and cd
  • Reach /root/practice/attic/boxes
  • Create the proof file done.txt inside it (touch done.txt)
