> Note: keep in mind that the `rm` command would completely delete the files and folders, and the action is irreversible, meaning that you can't get them back.

### The `mkdir` command
The `mkdir` command stands for `make directory` and is used for creating one or more new directories. All you need to do in order to create a new directory using this command is to open a terminal, `cd` into desired location and run the following:

```bash
mkdir My_New_Directory
```

The above command will create a new, empty directory called `My_New_Directory`.

You can also create serveral new directories by placing the names of desired directories after each other:

```bash
mkdir My_New_Directory My_Another_New_Directory
```

### The `touch` command

The `touch` command is used to update timestamps on files. A useful feature of the touch command is that it will create an empty file. This is useful if you want to create file in your directory that doesn't currently exist

### Pin repositories to your GitHub profile

As the number of repositories you've created or contributed to grows, you might want to showcase a few of these repositories straight on your profile. This feature is extra useful when you want to present your portfolio to a potential employer and want them to see the work you are proudest of first!

This is how you do it:

In the top right corner, click on your profile photo and select "Your profile" from the menu:

In the section saying "Popular repositories" or "Pinned", click on "Customize your pins":

After the previous step, the "Edit pinned items" modal will open. Here, you can choose a combination of up to six repositories and/or gists to display:

Once you've decided which repositories you want to pin, click "Save pins".
