Same File, Three Addresses Unit 2

No mouse

The shell always stands in one folder. Once you feel that, you rebuild the page from the keyboard, then stop typing it and generate it. You leave holding the same folder, rebuilt, then generated. Next the file stays put and you look at the machine.

The shell is always in exactly one folder. Every relative path is measured from there.

Quick check: can you stand in the folder, rebuild it, and generate the page with > and |?

Project

Cold Start

Delete ~/projects/first-site/ and rebuild it from the keyboard in eight commands or fewer. Prove the rebuild with four pieces of real terminal output. ---

Generated Page

Write a shell script that builds ~/projects/first-site/index.html and MANIFEST.txt entirely from command output using >, >>, and |. Neither file gets typed by hand. ---
