Navigating the File System:

• `pwd` - Print Working Directory: Display the current working directory to orient yourself within the file system.
• `ls` - List: List the contents of a directory. Adding options such as `-l` provides detailed information, and `-a` shows hidden files.
• `cd` - Change Directory: Move between directories. Use `cd ..` to move up one level.

File Operations:

• `cp` - Copy: Copy files or directories. For example, `cp file.txt /path/to/destination` copies "file.txt" to the specified destination.
• `mv` - Move: Move files or directories. It can also be used to rename files. For example, `mv file.txt newfile.txt` renames the file.
• `rm` - Remove: Delete files or directories. Exercise caution with this command, as it permanently removes files.

Working with Text Files:

• `cat` - Concatenate: Display the contents of a file. Useful for viewing the entire content of small files.
• `nano` or `vim` - Text Editors: Edit text files in the terminal. Choose between the straightforward `nano` or the more advanced `vim`.
• `grep` - Global Regular Expression Print: Search for a specific pattern within a file or command output. For example, `grep "pattern" file.txt`.

System Information:

• `top` - System Monitor: View real-time system statistics, including CPU and memory usage. Press `q` to exit.
• `df` - Disk Free: Display disk space usage. Adding `-h` provides a human-readable format.

User and Permission Management:

• `whoami` - Who Am I: Display the current username.
• `sudo` - Superuser Do: Execute a command with elevated privileges. Use responsibly.
• `chmod` - Change Mode: Modify file permissions. For example, `chmod +x script.sh` grants execute permission to a script.

Networking:

• `ping` - Network Ping: Check network connectivity to a specific host.
• `ifconfig` or `ip` - Network Configuration: Display network interface information. `ip` is more modern and versatile.
