## basic linux commands
below are some basic commands to get around via ssh.
- `ls` = list files and folders in the current directory
- `cd` = change directory
- `pwd` = tells you which directory you are in
- `nano` = a command line text editor, similar to notepad
## editing your website
using the commands above we can update our homepage:
- type `ls` to see what files and folders are in your home directory
- type `cd ~/public_html` to get to your web site's directory
- type `nano index.html` to open your homepage in nano.
edit the file as you like. when done press `ctrl + x` to quit.
you'll be asked if you want to save, press `y` to confirm. (or `n` to quit without saving)
if it asks you for a filename, press `enter` to confirm.
now navigate to https://tilde.cafe/~your_username to see the result!
