Absolute vs. Relative Paths:

An absolute path is inclusive of the entire path from the root directory.

A relative path is the path from the working directory.

Github Account:

My Github user name is: evansparker

And my fastq to fasta converter is online under my PLS-599 repository.

Favorite Linux Command:

cut

I chose cut because I found it useful on our last assignment, and can envision myself using it for many file conversions to remove extraneous information.  I initially discovered the cut command from ss64.com and a link to the cut command on ss64.com is provided here; this page provides an easy to understand man file on the syntax and options associated with the cut command as well as examples and related commands.  

When exploring the site I found the csplit command which I would like to explore as a method for file conversions.
