To find the difference between fruits.txt and Colors.txt file

Solution:-

ls - The ls is the list command in Linux. It will show the full list or content of your directory.

ls -a - you can see the whole list of files, including the hidden files.

ls -l - The ls command will only display the files.

ls -d */ - If you only want to display the sub-directories excluding all other files, you can

use this command

ls -g - If you don't want to display the owner information in your list

ls -lg - f you don't want to display the group information in your list

ls --color=[VALUE] - This command is used to colourize and decolourize the list.

**ls ~ -**it shows the contents of the home directory.

ls ../ - This command contains the list of the parent directory.

sudo - The Linux sudo command stands for Super User Do.

Sudo -V - It stands for version.

sudo -l - It stands for list.

sudo -h - The h stands for help in this option.

pwd - stands for Print Working Directory. It prints the path of the working directory, starting from the root.

$cat filename

it will show the content of the given file

cat file1 file2

This will show the content of file1 and file2

cat -n filename

It will show content with line number

cat > newfile

Will create a file named newfile

$cat "filename1" "filename2" "filename3" > "merged_filename"

The content will be copied in destination file

$cat file1 >> file2

Will append the contents of one file to the end of another file

$tac filename

Will display content in reverse order

$cat "filename1" "filename2" "filename3" > "merged_filename"

Will merge the contents of file in respective order and will insert that content in "merged_filename".

$cat *.txt

Will show the content of all text files present in the folder.

$cat >> safia.txt

The newly added text.

Will append the text "The newly added text." to the end of the file.

1.To view what's written in a file.

cat - This is the simplest and perhaps the most popular command to view a file in Linux.

nl - The nl command is almost like the cat command. The only difference is that it prepends line numbers while displaying the text in the terminal.

less - Less command views the file one page at a time.

**head-**head command is another way of viewing text files but with a slight difference. The head command displays the first 10 lines of a text file by default.

tail - it is similar and yet opposite to the head command. While the head command displays the file from the beginning, the tail command displays the file from the end.

2.To change the access permissions of files.

chmod +rwx filename to add permissions

chmod -rwx directory name to remove permissions.

chmod +x filename to allow executable permissions.

chmod -wx filename to take out write and executable permissions.

To check which commands you have run till now.
history - command is used to view the previously executed command.

To remove a directory/ Folder.
Use the rmdir or rm -d command to remove empty directories.

Use the rm -r command to remove non-empty directories.

5.To create a fruits.txt file and to view the content.

vim fruits.txt
