If you use
mkdir 'Odin Projects'it will creste one folder/directory, without the '' it will create individual directories for all inputs (e.g. Odin and Projects), which is what I think happened?You're absolutely right. That's the command i had typed precisely.
Now how to merge the two folders into one ??
I am learning the command line actually.
If they are empty, I would just delete them with
rm -r Odinand do the same for Projects, otherwise you coul d for instance move all content of Projects to Odin withmv Projects/* Odinand then rename Odin with the same commandmv Odin 'Odin Projects'and then delete the remaining Projects folderThanks. I apply the rm command, and create a new folder afresh.
Actually, the course that i am doing has got many steps missing.
