Kunemiyalo ethile abasebenzisi be- I-GNU / Linux Kufanele siyazi ngoba iyisisekelo kakhulu. Kulo mbhalo sizokhuluma ngezinye zazo nokuthi zisebenza kanjani, okuwukuphela kwento esiyidingayo i-terminal 
Ubulala izimbongolo.
Ngicabanga ukuthi umyalo obaluleke kakhulu okumele siwazi ukuthi:
$ man
Lokhu kuzoba yikhona okusikhipha ngokungabaza nasezinkathazweni zethu izikhathi eziningi. Ukusetshenziswa kwayo kulula, i-syntax eyisisekelo ngu $ man command, isibonelo:
$ man man
$ man mkdir
Ngisebenza namafolda nezinkomba.
Ukushintsha umkhombandlela ngokusebenzisa i-terminal sisebenzisa umyalo cd. Ukusebenza kwayo kulula ku-terminal:
$ cd : Siya ngqo kufolda yethu / yasekhaya.
$ cd /home/elav/Documents/PDF/ : Ake siye kufolda PDF ngaphakathi / ikhaya / elav / Imibhalo.
$ cd .. : Sikhuphuka izinga elilodwa. Uma singaphakathi PDF siya / ikhaya / elav / Imibhalo.
$ cd ../.. : Sikhuphuka amazinga amabili. Uma singaphakathi PDF siya / ikhaya / elav /.
Uma sifuna ukubona ukuthi iyiphi ifolda esikuyo, sisebenzisa umyalo:
$ pwd
Ukwakha ifolda sisebenzisa umyalo we-mkdir:
$ mkdir /home/elav/test : Sakha ifolda yokuhlola ngaphakathi / ikhaya / elav.
$ mkdir -p /home/elav/test/test2 : Sakha ifolda test2ngaphakathi / ikhaya / elav / isivivinyo /. Uma kwenzeka ifolda test ayikho, idaliwe.
Imininingwane iyala.
Kunemiyalo eminingana yokubuka imininingwane kumafayela noma kumafolda, kanye nesikhala okuso. Okwaziwa kakhulu yi- ls, okusisiza ukubhala uhlu lokuqukethwe.
$ ls : Bhala uhlu lwemibhalo
$ ls -l Bhala uhlu lokuqukethwe njengohlu, ngaphezu kokukhombisa enye idatha.
$ ls -la : Faka kuhlu okuqukethwe kwesiqondisi, kufaka phakathi amafayela afihliwe (anenkathi phambi kwegama)
Sivele sabona isikhala sediski nemiyalo yosayizi kulokhu kungena, ngakho angizibeki.
Ngisebenza ngamafayela.
Kunendwangu eningi okufanele isikwe lapha, kepha kulokhu ngizokhuluma ngemiyalo cp (ukukopisha), mv (ukusika / ukuhambisa) futhi rm (Susa / Susa).
$ cp /home/elav/fichero1 /home/elav/fichero2 : Sakha ikhophi yefayili ye- ifayela1
$ cp /home/elav/fichero3 /home/elav/fichero2 : Siyakopisha bese siyashintsha ifayela3 en ifayela2.
$ cp -R /home/elav /home/elav/bckup : Sikopisha konke okuqukethwe kwesiqondisi izinga ukuze / ikhaya / elav / isipele. The -R (Recursive) kufanele isetshenziselwe amafolda.
$ cp /home/elav/fichero* /home/elav/bckup : Kopisha konke egameni ifayela, noma ngabe kubuya ini, noma ubukhulu.
Okufanayo ngumyalo mv, kepha kulokhu, i- ifayela1 izothuthelwa (noma iqanjwe kabusha) ku- ifayela2.
$ mv /home/elav/fichero1 /home/elav/fichero2
Endabeni yamafolda, akudingekile ukubeka inketho -R.
$ mv /home/elav/bckup /home/elav/bckup2
Futhi ekugcineni sinomyalo wokususa amafayela noma izinkomba.
$ rm /home/elav/fichero1 : Susa ifayela1.
Futhi maqondana namafolda, uma kufanele sisebenzise inketho -R.
$ rm -R /home/elav/bckup : Susa ifolda i-bckup.
Ukwenza ngcono le miyalo, singasebenzisa inketho -v (isenzo) lokho kuzosikhombisa esikrinini izenzo ezenziwa ngumyalo ngaleso sikhathi.
Le yimiyalo eyisisekelo, kepha kufanele impela ukuyazi. Kamuva sizokukhombisa abanye.
