What changes are you trying to make?
I completed the
assignment.shscript by adding the required shell commands to organize the project files. The script now creates adatadirectory, moves the raw data intodata/raw, creates processed log directories, copies server/user/event log files into their corresponding folders, removes files containing IP addresses, and generates an inventory file.What did you learn from the changes you have made?
So far, I learned how to use shell commands to automate a project setup workflow. This include: create directories, move files, copy files based on filename patterns, remove files, and generate a file inventory.
I also have the chance to practice Git, by using Git branches, checking status, staging changes, committing, and pushing to GitHub.
Was there another approach you were thinking about making? If so, what approach(es) were you thinking of?

assignment.shmakes the process reproducible and easier to rerun.Were there any challenges? If so, what issue(s) did you face? How did you overcome it?
I initially ran some Git commands from the Desktop directory instead of inside the cloned repository, which caused Git to say it was not a repository. I fixed this by navigating into the correct

I tested the changes by running:
