So...

When working with files in the command line, it is easy to lose track of what
|
|
you are doing.
|
|
A helpful convention is to leave a README file in any directory where you have
|
|
a lot going on.
|
|
This would generally help you to keep track of things.
|
|
For example, this directory `b` doesn't contain anything other than this README
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
Another thing you should note: See how these lines only have less than
|
|
characters per line?
|
|
That is a tradition to keep files readable, because old 'terminals' - which
|
|
were the only access to computers back when they required rooms or buildings -
|
|
were usually just over 80 characters wide.
|
|
|
|
Something else that is often done is to write each sentence on its own line.
|
|
This allows you to edit line by line, and will become very important
|
|
when we start working on merging different files later.
|
|
|
|
Raise your hand as soon as you've read this file.
