The command line is a program that listens to text commands and passes them on to a computer’s operating system.
From the command line, you can naviagte files and folders - like you can through Finder on a Mac OS or windows Explorer on Windows - but command line differs in that it is fully text-based - and much more powerful.
As well as navigating files and folders, you can also use command line to write scripts to automate commons tasks and combine simple commands to handle difficult tasks.
In command line, folders are referred to as directories. Files and directories are organised into a filesystem.
