Build a playground

Quest: build-playground

Mission

Create ~/playground/, create one.txt, two.txt, and three.txt inside it, and list them with ls -l.

Why This Matters

You need a safe place to practice. A playground directory is where you can create, inspect, and remove files without touching your homepage source.

Commands You Will Use

• mkdir
• touch
• ls -l

Steps

1. Run mkdir -p ~/playground.
2. Run touch ~/playground/one.txt.
3. Run touch ~/playground/two.txt.
4. Run touch ~/playground/three.txt.
5. Run ls -l ~/playground.
6. Ask the guide to check your work.

Hints

1. Create the directory before creating files inside it.
2. touch can create an empty file.
3. The guide checks for one.txt, two.txt, and three.txt inside ~/playground.

If Check Fails

Run ls -l ~/playground and compare the listing with the required names. Missing files need another touch command. If the guide cannot traverse your home directory, run chmod 711 ~ yourself, then ask it to check again.
