Question

! chmod 600 ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json

i want to know why this is so

Code should be included as text in the body of your question itself; content that's only behind links does not count as included in the question itself for purposes of determining whether it's answerable, for the reasons given in [Why should I not upload images of code/data/errors?](//meta.stackoverflow.com/q/285551) — Charles Duffy, Dec 13 '22 at 12:19
@AhmedAEK, wouldn't it have been just as easy to retype the line of code from the image rather than making it inline but leaving it as an image? (I've now done that myself) — Charles Duffy, Dec 13 '22 at 12:22

This indicates it is running a shell command. For instance, you can install packages by

!pip install

within Google Colab.

thanks! tell please How can I get a list of these commands? – Azizbek Dec 13 '22 at 13:10
@Azizbek it's not a fixed set of available commands; it depends on which software is installed. – Charles Duffy Dec 13 '22 at 13:12
i.e. can I use all shell commands in my notebook(google collab)? – Azizbek Dec 13 '22 at 13:15
