Naming Linux files/Folders
Q. Why you shouldn’t use space when naming a folder/file ?
Suppose you want to create a folder with name VS Code
then you cant’t do that using :
mkdir VS Code
This is a blockquote. need to use more blockquote
Why ?
Because it will consider them two directories VS
and Code
So it’ll create two directories
To create the folder VS Code
you’ll have to use:
mkdir VS\ Code/
or
mkdir "VS Code"
But if you simply did :
mkdir VS_Code
you needn’t have to go through this hassle
But the problem arises after that:
Now every time you want to acess this folder you have to use VS\ Code
format. That doesn’t seem like a problem right ??
Wait a minute?
Suppose you decided to copy path from your GUI File Manager:
then it would contain space but you can’t use space while using this path in shell(Terminal)
Every time you copy address from somewhere you’ll have to add \
manually whenever there is file/folder
containing space
But none of this problem would have occured if you’ve simply used VS_Code
