Very Feebish of you.
Ever since the astounding OS takeover by Win95, this type of "folder vs
directory" insecurity is VERY common in Unix/Linux dweebs.
But...
* 'folder' in computing isn't a Unix or Apple or MS creation. It dates
back to the mid 1950s (according to wikipedia).
* the word and connotation of 'folder' is a much better metaphor
than 'directory' for a structure that contains documents and/or
other folders/directories.
* the file open icon on virtually all Linux apps is a picture of a
folder.
* https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/navigating-filesystem-linux-terminal
uses them interchangeably, as they should
* between the two of us, only your household owns or uses Macs
pwned. Now git back in your folder.
