1 00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:08,390 A what is up. 2 00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:14,330 Everybody this is Jason with Def soapstar calm and in this video we are going to learn how to create 3 00:00:14,330 --> 00:00:17,870 folders and files in this lesson. 4 00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:20,410 So let's get to it. 5 00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:23,470 All right so we've already covered how to change directories. 6 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:23,930 All right. 7 00:00:23,930 --> 00:00:28,630 So let's go ahead and make sure that we're at our home base here. 8 00:00:28,730 --> 00:00:29,260 OK. 9 00:00:29,390 --> 00:00:32,920 So I just went to the root level of my computer here. 10 00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:38,750 Now what we want to do is I'm going to go ahead and change my directory to the desktop and then we're 11 00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:41,060 going to go ahead and create our first folder. 12 00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:43,460 So go ahead and change the directory. 13 00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:50,840 We're going to put this folder on our desktop now to create a folder what we're going to do is we're 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,860 going to use a command called M-K Dern's. 15 00:00:53,870 --> 00:00:59,360 So for make directory All right this is going to create folders and this is really important to know 16 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:06,080 because I use this all the time when I'm creating brand new projects or if I'm adding a folder to my 17 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,500 project I'll simply do this through the terminal instead of having to go into the finder find my project 18 00:01:12,530 --> 00:01:17,130 right click click click some you know dropdown menu and create folders in that way. 19 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,920 It's a lot easier to do it like this. 20 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,880 And then we can go ahead and very quickly add files to this on our desktop. 21 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,120 We're going to create a folder make directory and we'll call this 22 00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:31,430 directory bundle. 23 00:01:31,490 --> 00:01:32,280 All right. 24 00:01:33,050 --> 00:01:33,400 Cool. 25 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:40,280 So now if we list out the items on my desktop you can see that we have just created a folder called 26 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:47,360 directory fun and in the Finder if we go over to my desktop you'll see that we've just created the folder 27 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,500 right here. 28 00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:52,640 Now what I'm what I'm going to do is in the Finder I want to kind of give you a visual of what's happening 29 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,260 here. 30 00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:59,090 I'm going to double click on the folder in my finder you can see that this folder is MT-NW from our 31 00:01:59,090 --> 00:01:59,700 terminal. 32 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,140 What we're going to do now is we're going to create some files inside of this directory. 33 00:02:04,250 --> 00:02:09,010 So make sure that we change the directory into the folder we just created. 34 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,500 And I'm going to hit tab. 35 00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:12,460 What's the directory. 36 00:02:12,530 --> 00:02:16,720 How did I spell this direct or refund. 37 00:02:16,730 --> 00:02:18,720 All right cool. 38 00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:23,020 So now we've changed our directory in here if we list the sound just like it shows in our finder and 39 00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:24,340 there is nothing here. 40 00:02:24,620 --> 00:02:28,890 So to create a file we can use a command called Touch. 41 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,850 So simply write touch. 42 00:02:31,010 --> 00:02:37,130 And then here we can create our files so say we're starting a brand new project and we need to set up 43 00:02:37,470 --> 00:02:45,230 an H himself file a CSSA file maybe a javascript file so we can do that by typing in the touch command 44 00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:50,390 and then typing in the file that we want to create and be sure that you had the extension of what we're 45 00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:53,300 creating here so we're adding an H XML file here. 46 00:02:53,300 --> 00:02:54,910 Go ahead and hit enter. 47 00:02:55,460 --> 00:03:00,740 And you can see right here in the Finder that is created the h file for us. 48 00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:03,310 Now check this out with this touch command. 49 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,590 You can actually create multiple files as well. 50 00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:13,800 So let's write touch and let's say that we need a CSSA file and javascript file. 51 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,300 So we'll put a style CSSA in a manger. 52 00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:22,760 And I'm going to go ahead and click enter and you can see that it's created both files for us. 53 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,810 Now let's take this up just a notch here. 54 00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:30,670 Say that we need a directory to hold all of our services. 55 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:38,150 So to do that and let's use the make directory command and we're going to call this folder services. 56 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,390 OK. 57 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,380 And you can see that the folders appeared here and then we can go ahead and simply navigate into this 58 00:03:45,380 --> 00:03:46,000 folder. 59 00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:52,660 And let's go ahead and create we'll just call this Services dodginess. 60 00:03:52,750 --> 00:03:53,170 OK. 61 00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:56,700 And in the Finder I'm going to click on it here so we have a visual of what's happening. 62 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,340 I'm going to press enter in my terminal and it's just created the file for us. 63 00:04:01,430 --> 00:04:06,350 So we have just covered how to create directories and how to create files. 64 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:09,260 And this is going to be very very important for you to know. 65 00:04:09,290 --> 00:04:14,180 You're going to use this all the time especially when you're setting up brand new projects or you need 66 00:04:14,180 --> 00:04:18,980 to quickly add files or directories to existing projects that you're working on. 67 00:04:18,980 --> 00:04:21,610 So that is a wrap for this lesson. 68 00:04:21,620 --> 00:04:22,410 Let's move on.
