Lesson 2.1 · 4:10
Files and folders
Goal: Know that a project is just a folder, and find any folder's full address (its path).
Try it
- Open your file browser (Finder on Mac, File Explorer on Windows).
- Go to your home folder. On Mac it's the one with a house icon or your name. On Windows it's
C:\Users\<your name>. - Make a folder called
ai-native. Inside it, make a folder calledfirst-project. - Find its path. On Mac: right-click the folder, hold the Option key, and choose Copy "first-project" as Pathname. On Windows: click the address bar at the top of File Explorer.
- Paste the path into a note.
You're done when you have a note with the full path to first-project, and you can read it aloud drawer by drawer.
Recap
- A file is one saved thing. A folder holds files and other folders.
- A project is just a folder. The agent's work is files inside it.
- A path is the full address of a file or folder, read from the outside in.
Next lesson (2.2): the terminal, a way to move around these same folders by typing.
