How to display only first few several lines from file Linux UNIX command

ok, so lets say i have a file called users.txt and its a pretty big file, and i don't want to display all the conents because its too much information.

well, linux has a cool command you can use to only display a number of lines that you want to.

for example, lets say i only want to display or show the first ten lines of the users.txt file, to do that i will us this command

head users.txt

the head command reads the first then lines. in this came, the file users.txt. you can pass a number as an agument to the head command to speficy the number of lines to read and display it on your screen.

let say i only want to show the first six lines, then i would use this command

head -6 users.txt
