This video tutorial is a very brief primer on how to navigate the filesystem from the command line on my Mac. While it isn’t specifically about WordPress, the commands that this video highlights are equally appropriate for your WordPress server, which has about a 98% chance of being some Linux variant.
To be effective on the command line, you need to know a lot more than moving around. But moving around in the filesystem — and understanding the command line is inextricably linked to the filesystem, because you are always idling in a folder — is crucial for you to be comfortable with it.
