Not Keeping Files Organized
Unless you do all your work on one or two files, you run into trouble if you don’t do the following:Make directories for the groups of files you use (refer to Chapter 6 to find out how). Directories help you separate your files into groups of files you use together.
Use filenames that mean something. UNIX lets you name your files with nice long names, so take advantage of it (up to a point, anyway). Filenames should tell you what’s inside the file rather than make you guess.
