Episode 6. Addition of a "cut" command to remove line numbers in history about shell-genomics

I also noticed this issue.
If introducing another command would add too much content, another way to address this would be to edit the instructions to read:

Next, remove any lines of the history that are not relevant by navigating to those lines and using your delete key. Also remove the line numbers preceding each command. Save your file and close nano.

Hi @ckigenk and @awnorowski - apologies for not getting back to you sooner, and thanks for your suggestions!

cut is a very useful command, but the main course is already quite long and I'm not sure there's time to cover it properly. Also, the cut command is currently introduced in an optional extra lesson, so we should probably avoid duplicating too much content.

I think this is a good compromise - it makes explicit what learners need to do to ensure their script will work
