Here is a preview of all the commands I have completed in the vi tutorial. I also completed the commands from the other lessons, however, they are more navigational commands and not anything that I can copy and paste for review.
This was exciting to learn! I'm hoping to expand my knowledge further from here. Please see below. Thanks!
