# 🪴 Phase 1: Walking
> Goal: Get comfortable with the Linux command line
---
## 🎯 Exercise 1 — Your First Commands
SSH into **alpine-1** (through hop):
```bash
# Who am I?
whoami # → root
hostname # → localhost (or your hostname)
uname -a # Show full system info
uptime # How long since boot
# Where am I?
pwd # Print working directory
ls -la / # List root directory contents
# Make a file
echo "Hello from Phase 1!" > /root/hello.txt
ls -l /root/hello.txt # Check file details
cat /root/hello.txt # Read the file
```
**Repeat on alpine-2 too!**

## 🎯 Exercise 2 — Navigation & File Basics
```bash
# Explore directories
ls /
ls /etc
ls /var
ls /home
# Create a directory structure
mkdir -p /root/lab/{notes,scripts,logs}
ls -R /root/lab
# Copy and move files
cp /root/hello.txt /root/lab/notes/
mv /root/hello.txt /root/lab/backup.txt
# Read system files
cat /etc/hostname
cat /etc/os-release
cat /etc/passwd
# Answer these:
echo $SHELL # What shell am I using?
wc -l /etc/passwd # How many users?
uname -r # Kernel version
```
### 📝 Questions to answer:
1. What is your shell?
2. How many users are listed in `/etc/passwd`?
3. What kernel version are you running?

## 🎯 Exercise 3 — File Permissions
```bash
# Check permissions
ls -la /root/lab/notes/
ls -la /root/lab/
# Change permissions
chmod 644 /root/lab/notes/hello.txt
chmod 755 /root/lab/scripts
# Create a script
echo '#!/bin/sh' > /root/lab/scripts/sayhello.sh
echo 'echo "Hello from a script!"' >> /root/lab/scripts/sayhello.sh
chmod +x /root/lab/scripts/sayhello.sh
./root/lab/scripts/sayhello.sh
# Test permissions
chmod -x /root/lab/scripts/sayhello.sh
./root/lab/scripts/sayhello.sh # What happens?
```
### 📝 Questions:
1. What do the numbers `644`, `755`, and `+x` mean?
2. What happens when you remove execute permission from a script?

## 🎯 Exercise 4 — Text Editors
```bash
# Try nano (easier)
nano /root/lab/notes/my-notes.txt
# Type some text, Ctrl+O to save, Ctrl+X to exit
# Try vi (classic)
vi /root/lab/notes/vi-practice.txt
# Press 'i' to insert, type something
# Press Esc, then ':wq' to save and quit
```
