00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:01,390
Welcome back.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:07,470
And this video I'm going to introduce a few new command line commands that help us create folders and

3
00:00:07,470 --> 00:00:14,700
files using the command line rather than having to go over here and do file new file or right click

4
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:20,370
somewhere and do new folder or a new file rather than having to do that we'll be able to do it all through

5
00:00:20,370 --> 00:00:22,630
the command line before we get started on that.

6
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:28,920
Though I want to show you a few ways you can customize your environment and your editor on cloud nine

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,560
.

8
00:00:29,610 --> 00:00:35,700
So if we go over here to the little Settings button it opens up preferences and there's a few different

9
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:36,680
things I'll point out.

10
00:00:36,810 --> 00:00:41,870
The first one that most people tend to care about is the theme and the syntax highlighting colors.

11
00:00:41,970 --> 00:00:47,310
When I first started teaching and I showed my students how they could change their color scheme on the

12
00:00:47,310 --> 00:00:54,300
terminal and also in a blind text students went crazy and spent hours and hours creating custom themes

13
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:59,670
and sharing them online and comparing them trying to find the one that works just right for them.

14
00:00:59,670 --> 00:01:03,040
So if you do want to explore some of this and find one that you prefer.

15
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:05,910
There are two different things you can customize in cloud nine.

16
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:09,420
The first one is the theme of the actual application.

17
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:13,650
So the color of the folder structure and the background colors.

18
00:01:13,770 --> 00:01:19,830
And the second one is the syntax highlighting the colors instead of this file.

19
00:01:19,830 --> 00:01:24,320
There are three choices for the theme and I like this one here.

20
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:30,590
The flat theme I'll be using this one because it's higher contrast and easier to read over screencast

21
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,110
.

22
00:01:31,110 --> 00:01:38,070
So this is the syntax highlighting here and we can change it using this little dropdown and we can make

23
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:43,380
it into polarized dark which is a pretty common one.

24
00:01:43,450 --> 00:01:49,950
You can see it changes so totally up to you what you work with I'll use cloud nine day and the flat

25
00:01:49,950 --> 00:01:56,200
theme and then the next thing I want to do is increase this font size down here.

26
00:01:56,580 --> 00:02:02,690
So what you can do is go to settings and then scroll down to editors and terminal.

27
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:06,160
You can change everything from the text color the background color.

28
00:02:06,210 --> 00:02:14,260
All of that I'm going to change the font size here and I think that should work around 18.

29
00:02:14,790 --> 00:02:19,680
And there are quite a few other settings that you can work with here so feel free to play around with

30
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,320
those.

31
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:21,860
Find what works best for you.

32
00:02:21,870 --> 00:02:29,460
You can change everything from the font size to the number of spaces in your tabs to some of the autocomplete

33
00:02:29,460 --> 00:02:31,560
options as well.

34
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,680
So I'll close out of that.

35
00:02:33,690 --> 00:02:38,640
Let's talk about the command line command that I want to introduce the first one is a command called

36
00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:42,570
touch and touch will let us make a new file.

37
00:02:42,570 --> 00:02:46,400
Currently I'm inside of the workspace directory.

38
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,140
Let's CD down to the colors directory and there's two ways I could do that.

39
00:02:51,210 --> 00:02:59,460
I could do cd enter the command line and hit enter and then I could do cd colors and now I'm in the

40
00:02:59,460 --> 00:03:02,730
colors directory or I'll go back.

41
00:03:02,790 --> 00:03:10,590
I can also do and one line by typing CD insert to command line slash colors and that will CD into both

42
00:03:10,590 --> 00:03:14,270
of them and now I'm in the colors directory.

43
00:03:14,430 --> 00:03:18,430
So as I mentioned the touch command will help us make a new file.

44
00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:21,760
So we type touch and then the name of the file.

45
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:28,840
So I'll make one called Orange dot txt and we can use it to make any type of file H.T. Melchior says

46
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:29,730
Javascript.

47
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,850
And those are the three main ones that we'll be using it for but DXi is fine markdown even add a word

48
00:03:35,850 --> 00:03:40,360
document if you want it to or spreadsheet you can create any type of file from the command line.

49
00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:41,680
So that's on you to do.

50
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:43,410
Touch orange cut to 60.

51
00:03:43,470 --> 00:03:46,840
And if I hit Enter two things happen.

52
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,890
One over here you can see that orange that 260 has been added under the colors directory.

53
00:03:53,310 --> 00:03:57,990
And if I type LS I now see orange dot 60.

54
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,670
Let's make one more file.

55
00:03:59,730 --> 00:04:03,160
Touch yellow that TXI.

56
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:06,270
And that's also added over here.

57
00:04:06,270 --> 00:04:15,300
And if I type LS again I see I have now red orange and yellow textfiles So that's touch it will create

58
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:22,490
a new file and if you want to create a whole directory I can use a new command called M-K D.

59
00:04:22,530 --> 00:04:29,350
Or make directory so people will call it make dear make directory just M-K dear.

60
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,940
You'll hear all sorts of different things.

61
00:04:30,990 --> 00:04:34,610
I usually call it make directory and it makes a directory.

62
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:39,120
So just like touch we need to give it an argument.

63
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,690
So I'm inside of the colors directory and I want to make a new folder called fav colors.

64
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:51,480
I could go over here and right click and find the new folder and then I'd have to type in the folder

65
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:59,230
name and hit enter or I can do make directory m Qadeer fav colors just like that.

66
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:06,990
And you can see five colors has been added and now will go into 5 colors CD fav colors and I'll make

67
00:05:06,990 --> 00:05:17,560
some of my favorite color files so purple dot DX T and will do green tea XTi as well and blue that T

68
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,440
T.

69
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:24,240
And in case you're wondering purple is actually my favorite color green and blue are just they're completely

70
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,730
as fillers so disregard that.

71
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:34,040
All right so if we type LS You see now we have three files inside of fav colors.

72
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:41,160
And if I see the dot dot I'm now inside of the colors directory and we have fav colors orange Suttie

73
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,880
XTi red dot to 60 and yellow that t s t.

74
00:05:45,930 --> 00:05:46,470
OK.

75
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:54,140
So to review we have touch to make a new file and make directory and Qadeer to make a directory.

76
00:05:54,570 --> 00:05:59,180
So now if I say let's make a new directory called X or a new file called Aptor.

77
00:05:59,410 --> 00:06:06,420
J.S. you'll see me most of the time doing touch app dot J Yes or if I need to make a directory called

78
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:10,950
models it will be make directory models at the beginning.

79
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:16,730
I will make a point of showing both ways so that if you're still getting used to the command line you

80
00:06:16,940 --> 00:06:20,880
see how you can do it over here by right clicking or by using the File menu.

81
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:26,330
But it is the developer way and the faster way of getting things done to just use a command line
