+# Exercise 1
+This exercise is a brief review of terminal commands. Like all exercises, you can see the answers in the `complete` branch. Open up your command-line terminal, and perform the following tasks (no need to clone or download this repository):
+
+ ```bash
+# Navigate to your "Documents" directory
+
+# Create a new directory "quick-exercise"
+
+# Navigate to your "quick-exercise" directory
+
+# Create a file called "test-file.r" using the `touch` command
+
+# Open "test-file.r" (from the terminal) and edit it
+
+# View the contents of the file in your terminal
+
+# Bonus: Create 10 files with one line in your terminal
+```
