Now let's look at managing the template user environment in Linux.
When we created new user accounts, we mentioned one action that happens by default,
all files from the Etsy skill directory are copied to the new users' home directory.
This can be very helpful when we want
to create a template for the user's environment.
Now, practical examples are easier to understand.
So let's jump right in and explain as we go along.
Imagine that we want to inform all new users about some default policy.
Our old users already know about it.
But every time we add a new user, it's likely that they don't know yet.
What we can do is add a custom file to Etsy skill. Let's do that.
So we'll edit this readme file in Etsy skill and we'll add this text.
Please don't run CPU intensive processes between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.
and then save our file.
Now we'll add a new user to test this out and let's explore our home directory.
The dash A option makes LS list all files including some
that are hidden from the default output of the command files
that have a name beginning with a dot like dot Bashrc
are not shown if we don't add the dash a option.
And here we can see all files were copied from the Etsy scale directory,
including our Readme
file. Trinity will notice this when exploring your home directory
and with a command like cat Reedy,
she'll find the information that we intended to reach all of our new users.
So think of the Etsy scale directory as just a place where we go and
put in files that will be used for every new user we create after that.
