Finding your index.php file

There are some basic command line commands you'll want to Google and learn, but for this tutorial you only need a few:

Type: ls to see where you are. You should see a directory called "public_html"

Type: cd public_html to move into that folder. (cd stands for change directory.)

Type: ls to see where you are. You should see your index.php file

Editing your index.php file

Type: nano index.php to open your index.php file and begin editing

Edit your file, willy nilly

When done editing, use ctrl + x to close the file

You'll be asked if you want to save; say y and to return to the command line

Refresh your tilde page in your browser to see your new website

Note: If at any time you feel you made a mistake in editing, you can exit and n to not save.

see the advanced ssh key guide for more information and cool tips :)
