Intro
Terminal is hard. It is not for everyone. We learned that using a terminal is harder when you have a visual impairment. Still, their are some situations where you cannot avoid it.
This exercise is mainly for getting more familiar with the new nature of using a terminal.

folder-a
-
Create a file in
folder-a
calledfile-a.txt
that contains the sentence:I am a file. Nice to meat you!
. Tip, you do not have to use an editor in the terminal such as vim or nano. You can use theecho command

and name itfile-b.txt
. Make sure thatfile-b.txt
is infolder-a
. Use thecp
command. -

Tip, you can read man-pages online with your screen reader instead of in the terminal.
Good luck.
