Hi, I am Alexandru Antonica, a fullstack software engineer based in Bucharest, Romania, for more than 3 years now. I have started as a backend developer but curiosity and desire of knowledge made me want to be more independent when it comes to software development and technologies used in the process, as proof I have also a CKAD (Certified Kubernetes Application Developer) certification. Also I've created a course on Udemy on how to create a fullstack web application from scratch, using spring boot, kubernetes, angular, CI/CD pipelines etc.

    i made a linux script which receives as first argument a path to a directory. I don't know the path. And i want to check if "file.txt" exists at that certain path . For example :

    if [ -e $1/file.txt ];then
           echo HAHA
    fi
