 | Running multiple commands on a single line Placing a ; (semi-colon) after each command will allow you to execute multiple commands on a single command line. In other words, you can run multiple commands and only have to press the Enter key once. |
| Running a single command on multiple lines On the flip side, you can also run a single command across multiple lines.
