+The "man" command can be used on Linux to display the manual of an inputted command. To use this command type "man" followed by a space and then a Linux command.
+Example: <code>man cd</code>
+This will display the manual for the Linux command "cd". This is very useful for starting off understanding Linux commands. And when in more doubt [[https://www.google.com|Google]] or asking questions to your professor is the answer.

+----------------------------------
-Commands for repository:
-Enter you repository directory (probably src)\\
+The "cd" command is useful for going into directories or folders.
--'hg status'   (this shows the status of files in the directory//
+Example: <code>cd</code>
--'hg add'   (begins tracking all untracked files in the repository directory, add a filename to do just one)//
+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".
--'hg commit -m "description"'   (take snapshot of file(s) and add a description)//
--'hg push'   forwards commits to repository
-======Login Problems======
+----------------------------------
-Some people have reported problems logging into the wiki. There seems to be a few sources of problems experienced:
-  * User cannot log in.
+The "mkdir" command is useful for creating folders.
-  * User cannot log in using "Secure Login".
+Example: <code>mkdir</code>
-  * Attempting to connect over **http** versus **https** (ALWAYS USE **https**!!!)
+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.
-If you are confident you are using the correct username and password, and are using a version of Internet Explorer, it is suggested that you use a different browser, such as Firefox, Safari, or Chrome.
-If the "Secure Login" doesn't seem to be working for you, the behavior seems to occur when user passwords contain symbols like quote marks and asterisks. In which case, you can either:
-  * Uncheck "Use Secure Login". This sort of defeats the purpose of having security though, so it isn't outwardly recommended.
-  * Change your password to something that doesn't contain quote marks or asterisks. We don't yet know **exactly** which characters cause this problem, but we suspect it is characters that aren't being properly escaped that could have special syntactical meaning.
-======Syntax======
-For those unfamiliar, here is a page on [[wiki:syntax|wiki editing syntax]] that can be used here.
-======Course Notes Wiki======
-This is a space for members of the UNIX/Linux Fundamentals class to create a source of information reflective and assisting to the course.
-Aside from assignments that may have you specifically perform operations here, you should contribute when you encounter any of the following:
-  * Some neat bit of information related to the class
-  * Some clarification or understanding you've had with respect to concepts in the class
-  * Organizational/style improvements to existing content
-  * Questions you have that may deserve a more visual answer
