π οΈ Day 1 & 2 of My DevOps Journey β A Terminal, A Girl & A Dream


My learning unfolded like this with bash and my typos on the terminal..
π§ File System Navigation
I learned to create, navigate, and organize folders using
mkdir
,cd
,ls
.My directory structure now feels like a little home:
~/devops/ βββ projects/ βββ week1/ βββ notes.txt βββ backups/ βββ log_backup.txt
π File Operations
I created files using
touch
Added content with
nano
and viewed it withcat
,head
, andtail
.Even moved files around using
mv
and organized them into backups.
π΅οΈ File Viewing & Searching
Used
grep
to search for specific text.Practiced viewing file metadata using
ls -l
andls -lh
.Discovered hidden files with
ls -a
and how to create.secret
ones!
π Permissions & Ownership
Explored the output of
ls -l
to understand file permissions.Saw my ownership info with
whoami
,id
, andgroups
.
- π Fun Tools Explored
du
to check disk usagefree -m
to monitor memorychmod
,find
, and a few mistakes that turned into lessons
π Reflection
The days werenβt just about typing commands.
They are about showing up for myself.
About saying, βHey, I may not know it all yet, but Iβm not afraid of the black screen anymore.β
ποΈ Day 1 & 2 Quiz? Done with my best ever companion, chatgpt .
β Confidence? Gained.
Tomorrow is Day 3. More commands, more chaos, and more confindence.
