When i type in the commands, this is the outcome. It's pointing to some list. But where is this list existing ? I mean, which part of my system ? (thelemmy.club)

Pro tip: make your life easier by never having spaces on folders/files names. Use hyphen, period, or underscore instead. Also, never ever use special chars (I've seen your post with the $ problem)

I had learnt about some commands from YouTube, applied it, and that was the file name that took shape.

You would not let some random stranger feed your baby; do not execute commands without first understanding what they do
