Command Line Activity: Follow the white rabbit

This is a command line exercise for practicing basic file system navigation commands:

• pwd: Display your present (working) directory
• ls: List directory contents
• cd: Change directory

Instructions

1. Download this Gist to your workspace and expand/extract animal-world.zip.
2. Navigate to this directory using your terminal.
   • Note: when you open a new terminal window (i.e. using Git Bash on Windows or Terminal on Mac OS) the default location will normally be your home folder (/Users/jane).
3. Somewhere in this directory is an image of a White Rabbit. Find it using only the command line.

Extra Activities

Find the rabbit? Try these challenges next:

• Create a new directory with the mkdir command;
• Copy an animal to another location in animal-world using the cp command;
• Rescue (move) the Tiger from the zoo using the mv command;
• The clearing in the forest is so beautiful, it needs a file to describe it:
  1. Navigate to the clearing;
  2. In the clearing, create an empty README.md file using the touch command;
  3. Using VS Code, open README.md and write a poetic description of the clearing, OR:
     • Advanced: write a poetic description of the clearing in README.md directly from the terminal using vi or vim.
• Open an image from the command line (you might need to search for some hints on this one).
