3. pwd
when you play around with terminal sometime you forgot where is your current path, this command will be a solution, it will display information yiur current working path. curious? just type pwd on your terminal
4. cd
If you wish move from folder to another folder you use cd, cd means Change Directory. as example you want to move inside folder test, just type cd test
5. cp
