I am new to Ubuntu and learning how to use shell. Would someone please tell me what this command does:
sudo sh -e ~/Downloads
I know sudo sh will execute all commands in the shell as sudo. What is -e ?

This is a page describing the sh command.
The sh command runs or processes jobs through the Bourne shell.
The -e flag: If not interactive, exit immediately if any untested command fails. The exit status of a command is considered to be explicitly tested if the command is used to control an if, elif, while, or until; or if the command is the left hand operand of an "&&" or "||" operator.
Also see man sh.
