Entitled folder (3)

Or Gorilla folder, if you're into Monkey Island references. Just make a jpeg of a banana the only content of the folder

Wait I gotta try this, don't even think you need the backspace


$ mkdir " "
$ ls
' '

I hate that this works

mkdir "
"

will create a folder with a new line as its name

Edit, even more cursed:

Running mkdir $'\e[2J' will create a folder with the "clear screen" escape sequence as its name, so entering it and running pwd will clear your terminal screen
