Conversation
Kia Ora Team, Tena koutou me nga manaakitanga ! Here is my contribution to the carpentry training. Based on my experience in workshops, I think we should explain the basics of shell, which begins with "pwd" (directory) and moves to "cd" (navigating a directory) and then "ls" ( listing items within a directory). That was easier to understand for students. Hope this does not conflict with the team. Looking forward to receiving a positive response Cheers Bennett Henzeler

This is an example of a typo creating an error, so would leave as is.

No need to use pwd instead of ls.
| You may have seen it in a text editor program, for example. | ||
|
|
||
| So let's try our first command, `ls` which is short for listing. | ||
| This command will list the contents of the current directory: | ||
| In order to clear up any confusion, let's define the one major terms that you will use differently from your GUI in shell. "Folders" and places where your files are located are called "directories". Assume you have a text file named **"Data.txt"** inside a folder **X**, which is within a folder **Y**. Accessing the word file requires entering folders **Y** and **X**. | ||
|
|
||
| Visually, your text file is in the last box, but to access it, you need to open the other boxes first. | ||
|

|
||
| So let's try our first command, `pwd` which is short for print working directory. | ||
| You can use this command to print the directory where you are at that moment. From which you can navigate forwards or backwards |

The image is nice, but most lessons are taught without displaying figures, instead attendees type along. Using ls rather than pwd is a better starting point. pwd is introduced in the next section.

The introduction is short. Questions

Perhaps you can split your suggestion out into a separate issue and close this PR? @bkmgit |
