Step 1: Create a new directory: mkdir extraCredit Confirm it's there with ls
Step 2: Change directory into extraCredit: cd extraCredit
Step 3: Create a .txt file. You have some option here. A) Create an empty .txt file, or B) Create one with content. We'll do B
cat >notes.txt then type in your content. Press Control+D to save that file. Confirm it's there with ls and confirm it has content with cat notes.txt
Done! You could fool around with that more to help you get a better understanding, and make it muscle memory.

Make sure to omit the <-- --> when typing the name of course.
Just make sure you are in the directory you want to create the sub directory in :)

6,204 Pointsit's asking me to transfer text files into that directory. Ho do I do that?

23,800 Pointsuse the mv command
mv <--filename--> <--directory for file-->
again, make sure your in the directory that contains the file that needs to be moved, otherwise you will have to use . and / to denote where the file i located
