Command line

A real Linux runs inside your browser. Type ls or mkdir and see where your files actually live. It is not connected to the outside network.

Loading Linux…

Commands to try
  • ls -l — show what is here, and who is allowed to do what with it
  • pwd — show where you are right now
  • mkdir diary — make a folder called diary
  • cd diary — move into it (cd .. takes you back)
  • echo hello > a.txt — write something and make a file out of it
  • cat a.txt — show what is inside
  • chmod +x a.txt — mark it as okay to run
  • ps — show what is running right now

If something will not stop, tap ^C Stop. If that does not bring it back, Reset starts Linux over from scratch (the files you made are gone).

This Linux only runs inside your browser, and it is not connected to the outside network. So curl and git clone will not work here (for those, use your own computer). Neither the commands you type nor the files you make are sent anywhere.
