#LinuxPaths

I was confused by Linux paths until I learned the difference between absolute and relative. Absolute path: starts with /. Always the same regardless of where you are. /var/log/syslog /home/ubuntu/project Relative path: doesn't start with /. Depends on where you are.

If you're confused about where you are, run pwd before typing a path. Then use absolute paths to be safe. Once you're comfortable, relative paths save typing. If you’re looking to go into cloud/DevOps, click the link below for a free guide.

It took me one year to document it so you don’t have to. #LinuxPaths #CommandLine #LearningLinux #DevOpsJourney
