6 days ago I completed the CLI Treasure Hunt project and learned a lot about using the command line effectively😍 I practiced creating lists, managing directories, and writing to files using terminal commands. It was a fun and engaging game that helped solidify my understanding of how to interact with my computer through the command line.
I have found the answers and recorded them in Answer/answer.txt using the command line. Here is the link to the branch I created:
Thank you to the CodeYourFuture team for this valuable experience🙏

Why are we doing this?
Alongside learning web development, you need to become familiar with the basics of the command line. The command line is how you talk directly to your computer, instead of pointing and clicking at areas on a screen to trigger actions.
All interfaces are limited sets of possible interactions with data, arranged in ways (with words, colours, pictures, pixels) to guide the user towards the information they want. Clicking a link on a screen is really no different to typing. In both cases you are changing to a new directory. The difference is only in the interface you use to issue the command. Do not confuse the method with the goal.
I really want you all to understand this deeply and think about it many times over the course of your career. Do not decide you are "front end" or "back end" or limit your understanding in these ways. A CLI is an interface. An API is an interface. A GUI is an interface. All interfaces are maps. It's how we travel around data to find what we need.
The map is not the territory.
