 ## Other File operations
 
+`cat` stands for concatenate, meaning to link or merge things together. It is primarily used for printing the contents of one or more files to the standard output.
+`head` and `tail` will print the first or last lines (head or tail) of the specified file(s). By default it will print 10 lines, but a specific number of lines can be specified with the `-n`  option.
 `mv` to **m**o**v**e move a file, is used similarly to `cp` taking a source argument(s) and a destination argument.
 `rm` will **r**e**m**ove move a file and only needs one argument.
