You'll also learn to use 'cd' to change your working directory in the terminal.

Just a suggestion, you should name it Linux/Unix Tutorials instead of Shell Scripting tutorials. When I had linux in last semester, I was looking for it, and at that time I was unaware of shell scripting. But now, I am aware of Shell, so found your channel.
Now, also, it's not late, and I am expecting I'll learn something useful.

Sir mkdir command come with some options. Have you covered that?? For example like mkdir -p "dir_name" and other options like -m, -v etc.

Nice tutorial. Just one think....basic use of touch command is to update the access and modified timestamp of a (pre-existing) file.

what if we want to change the path from home like if i want it to be any other say for example my computer?

[hanzalasiddique]

What if I am practicing on an EC2 Linux machine
I am not able to find the home folder

[ryanschurton]

I love how you show that the folders and the empty txt files are being created in the home folder. 14weeks and my prof never showed us that

What does it mean if i input: mkdir test, but output: mkdir fails for test, Read-only file system...?

To write to a file you can do:
echo 'file text' >> text
