ONLY builtin commands depends upon the shell program you are running, other commands depend on the system.
cd
is a builtin (it modifies state of the shell),ls
,cat
and any other commands of the article are executable installed on the computer.Some softwares have a GUI version, all of them can be used in a terminal, with a more or less advanced CLI.
I've no idea what "shell tools" mean in this context.
Just to let you know, I wrote a shell as a school project, I've some internal understanding of the topic.
Wow this is amazing thanks a lot sir
Availability of tools do not depends of the used shell, but depend of program installed on the computer.
Commands may depends if theyr are builtin, like cd. All other commands just require to be installed.
ls is restricted on cmd it dosnt work cmd uses dir but ls works on other terminals

cmd
been replaced almost entirely with Powershell now? I know it's still there, but all the menu links and things are for Powershell since Windows 10.If you want to be nitpicky,
cd
also doesn't take you into "any directory you want", but rather "any directory that you have permissions for" and not always then, depending on how it's mounted.wow thats awesome
If you have git installed you can use git bash for these commands on Windows.
Interesting that you mention head, but not tail. Tail has great value for log files.
LOL I KNOW. I honestly couldn't tell you why
Hey Seb, great content for beginners. I just noticed typo in point 6 mdkir (it should be mkdir).
Indeed. Heading needs fixing.
