Logging in

PC (windows)

• On a PC, you'll need to get an ssh client. PuTTY is a good one.
  • host: tilde.team
• another option is to use WSL (windows subsystem for linux)
• or git bash included with a standard git install

Linux

• Open a terminal. Try ctrl + alt + t.
• ssh your_username@tilde.team
• Enter your password.

Mac

• Browse to Applications/Utilities/Terminal and launch Terminal (or press cmd+space, start typing Terminal, and press return)
• ssh your_username@tilde.team
• Enter your password.

Finding your index.html file

There are some basic command line commands you'll want to Google and learn, but for this tutorial you only need a few:

• ls = list files and folders in current directory
• cd = change directories
• nano = a command line text editor

Type: ls to see where you are. You should see a directory called "public_html"

Type: cd public_html to move into that folder. (cd stands for change directory.)

Type: ls to see where you are. You should see your index.html file Editing your index.html file

Type: nano index.html to open your index.html file and begin editing

Edit your file, willy nilly

When done editing, use ctrl + x to close the file

You'll be asked if you want to save; say y and to return to the command line

Refresh your tilde page in your browser to see your new website

Note: If at any time you feel you made a mistake in editing, you can exit and n to not save.
