How do I bring a job to the foreground?

To bring a job to the foreground, follow these steps:

  1. List your current jobs to see which ones are running in the background:

    jobs
  2. Choose the job number you want to bring to the foreground. For example, if it's job number 2, use the following command:

    fg %2

    If you only have one background job, you can simply use:

    fg
  3. After executing the command, the job will run in the foreground, and you can interact with it directly.

  4. To stop the job and regain control of your terminal, press Ctrl+C.

  5. You can check your jobs again with:

    jobs

    The job you brought to the foreground should no longer be listed if it has been terminated.
