Capstone Project – Course 1

Capstone Project – Course 1

Set Up and Clean Up a New Hospital Project Folder

A short, guided challenge that touches every command learned this course. Requirements:

1. Check where you are with pwd
2. Create a new folder called patient-intake-v2 with mkdir
3. Move into it with cd patient-intake-v2
4. Create a file called readme.txt with touch
5. Add a short description to it, then view it with cat readme.txt
6. List everything in the folder with ls -l
7. Rename readme.txt to README.txt using mv
8. Go back up one level with cd ..
9. Delete the whole patient-intake-v2 folder with rm -r once the exercise is confirmed complete

If you can do all nine steps without help, you’ve got the basics down.

Assessments

Weekly quizzes and skill checks (see each week above), plus a capstone rubric scoring: correct navigation, safe file creation and removal, correct use of copy/move/rename, and correct use of diagnostic commands.
