      This GE involves a lot of repetitious typing that my students weren't happy about.
      Why create 18 files manually and then type their names all over again to move them one by one?
      The purpose of the exercise is to demonstrate the following:

      • Use the `mkdir` and `touch` commands with multiple arguments.
      • Use the `mv` and `cp` commands with multiple arguments (last argument must be a directory).
      • Copy and delete directories recursively.

      The stated goals should be achievable with less typing.
      You could even add an extra goal to rename a file or a directory.
