It does not like spaces
I’ve managed to change directory to pretty much everywhere, which is cool! Got a bit carried away trying to see the contents of a folder quite deep in multiple subfolders, and saw a zsh: permission denied
message.
This was puzzling until I realised I’d forgotten to preface the path with a command!
Something else I’ve noticed is that the CLI does not like word spaces. It returns a too many arguments
message any time I try to access a folder with a multiple-word name.
Is there any way around that, or do I have to rename_everything_to_remove_word_spaces?
Rather than renaming, I looked for paths with locations that were one word only and was able to ls
the contents of the parent folder of the directory I was looking at.
So far so good.
