I'm trying to walk through Learn Python the Hard Way, and right now the instructor is telling me to 'always go home' if I get lost in powershell.
The implication is that if I'm typing in commands, I'm leaving somewhere, within the context of my computers.
When I type something like
"pwd
cd ~"
What am I actually doing?
Sorry for the stupid question, but this part of programming always trips me up. I just need to push myself to start and I know I can be okay at it.
EDIT: ahaha holy shit, this is just looking through the directories in my computer. When I write
"mkdir temp/stuff"
I'm creating folder stuff inside of folder temp.
