Navigate the Terminal with Bash


pwd - print working directory
tree - shows the directory structure
whoami - whom as I'm logged in
cd - change directory
cd ~ - goes home directory


 I'm using a directory structure created like the one below.




cd ..  or cd ../- goes one level back
cd ../..  or cd ../../ - goes two levels back


pushd and popd


pushd saves the current directory and changes to a new one, while popd reverts to the previously saved directory. They allow easy navigation between directories in a stack-like manner.

It is used throughout the software development cycle, monitoring code repositories and initiating actions like compiling, testing, and deployment. Jenkins provides feedback to developers about the success or failure of these actions. make no sense right😅 let's go through the stages of the development of a typical software product(note the tags I put mentioning Jenkin's involvement.) Requirements Gathering(No Jenkins involvement) Design(No Jenkins i...
