What to notice while you play.

Objective

Create a small lab area and make safe file changes inside it.

Hint

Create the folder before touching a file inside it.

Why it matters

Most terminal work is careful path and file manipulation.

Common mistakes

  • Copying a directory when this lab expects a file.
