cd for changing directory.
ls for showing a list of all the files in the directory.
ls -la for showing the list of files in list format + showing all the hidden files.
mkdir for making a new directory.
touch for creating a new file.
cp for copying a file.
cp -r for copy a directory.
mv for renaming and / or moving a file.
open for opening a file.
rm for removing a file.
rm -rf for force removing a directory.
man (-r) this will show some information about -r. -r is an example.

As a Mac user learning Linux, this video is perfect. The visual of the Mac OS gui file system paired with Linux commands in Terminal is awesome. This is such a good way to learn it.
