# The Maker

> `water/`, `tools/` — each holding an empty `manifest.txt`. Then
> delete the stale file.

> Three commands:

## Your Task

In `starter/starter.sh`, write the commands to:

1. Create `cargo/food/`, `cargo/water/`, `cargo/tools/`
2. Create an empty `manifest.txt` in each room
3. Remove `cargo-old.txt`

## Objectives

- All three room directories exist
- Each contains an empty `manifest.txt`
- `cargo-old.txt` no longer exists
