Navigating the Filesystem

Complete each of following steps, in order :

1. Create a new directory called quiz inside the root directory of this repository (cli-08-assessment).

2. Create a new file inside quiz called rhyme.txt.

3. Open rhyme.txt using Sublime (via the terminal) and add the following text:

"The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain."

Once you've done this, save the file and quit.

4. Make a directory inside quiz called temp. Inside it, create a new blank file called temp.md.

5. Navigate back up to quiz, and delete the temp directory (with temp.md inside of it). Use ls to show the contents of quiz - was temp deleted?

Absolute and Relative Paths

Open up this file in your text editor, and write your answers below (where indicated).

1. Is /Users/blah_blah/Desktop a relative path or an absolute path? How do you know?

Abosolute, because / is shorthand for the root directory, and we're given a set of folders that follow.'

2. Suppose that we're working on a project, and we want to use a font that's being hosted somewhere on the internet. Would we use an absolute or relative path to refer to it? Why?

Absolute. If you're referencing something on the internet you'll want to use an absolute directory because it doesn't live within your project. The only issue with this is if they decide to move the file (font in this case) you're screwed.'

3. Now suppose that we have an image file living inside our project. Would we refer to it with an absolute or relative path? Why?

Relative. In order to keep the path up to date in the event we move the file, we'd want to use a relative path.'
