Good job! Here my suggestions:

Changing directory ownership recursively:

Nice work, dude!
Maybe, you can add some like:

ls -ltrha (to bring the lastest files/dirs that had modifications.

cd "", to enter in directories with that had an space into their names, like:

cd "/home/schelp/my files"
ls -ltrha "/home/schelp/my files"

df -h (known a little bit more of the filesystem used, maybe its a good idea)

df -Th

One of the shortcuts that I like is:

what is the difference between chmod +x /path/to/script.sh and chmod u+x /path/to/script.sh ?

Eshan Roy (eshanized) • Dec 2

chmod +x /path/to/script.sh is used when you want to make the script executable for all users e.g groups and it is equivalent to a+x -a stands for all. on the other side u+x is used when you want to give permission for owner only. in details you can say like chmod +x = rwxr-xr-x and chmod u+x = rwxr--r--. Thank You for the question.
