+The "cd" command is useful for going into directories or folders.
+Example: <code>cd</code>
+After using "cd" you add the option if which directory/folder you want to go into. Such as "cd familyphotos", you can even get to directories not close to the one you're in like "cd ~/games/somegame/unrelated".

+The "mkdir" command is useful for creating folders.
+Example: <code>mkdir</code>
+After using "mkdir" you add the name of the folder. For example "mkdir folder" will create a folder named "folder" in whatever directory you are in. You can also use full paths like "mkdir ~/classes/unix" to create a folder that may not be in the same directory as you.
