No clue how she's using the console. I have no completed the files she has so I can't work through with her.

This lady is using Python files which is a course I have not completed so I can't figure out what to do when she's using mkdir, *.py, etc. Thanks.

mkdir simply makes a folder. You can do this from a GUI too. * is usually a wildcard which in this case would select all python files since .py comes after the *.

Hi Tyrel, the console she's using is actually built into the Treehouse workspace. You can access it from the view menu. I was confused myself and had to take a moment to figure it all out. Also, if you are confused about or want to know more about the commands being used here, you can learn about them in the Git Basics course.
