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.
