Day 43: Command Line Interface and a New Setup!

Today's a fantastic day!  Today's focus is on the Command Line Interface.  The Odin Project had several essays regarding the CLI, and Treehouse has a course on the CLI, so I read the essays, then headed over to Treehouse to take the course!

I started moving around using the CLI with commands such as cd followed by the folder path and cd followed by two dots.  I also used the "~" symbol, which is called a tilde.  I learned that the tilde symbol is equivalent to typing in /Users/adancamacho on the mac CLI.  I learned that hitting the up or down keys allows me to browse commands I previously entered into the CLI.

I changed my computer workspace setup around because it was a bit too cramped.  This works better:



Much more space!  The monitor on the left is hooked up to the macbook pro, while the monitor on the right is hooked up to the PC and the printer.  The empty desk and chair in the back include the part of my desk I allocate to my brother (he's running a real-estate wholesaling business), since I invited him to get his work done at my place after he let me know he was having trouble being strict with himself in regards to allocating certain hours towards his business.  He was going to use one of the extra bedrooms in his house as an office, but I told him not to do that, so he wouldn't lose out on the rental income, and invited him to operate from my home office.  It's empty because he clears his area out at the end of every day, but he has definitely been using it, and his focus and productivity have both increased quite a bit!  :)
