How to change working directory
cd
Change Directory – change the current working directory to a specific Folder.
The syntax is cd followed by the name of the directory you want to go to.
For example:
cd /home/user/public_html Change the current working directory
to /home/user/public_html. The ‘/’ indicates path relative
to the root directory, and no matter what directory you
are in when you execute this command, the directory will
be changed to “/home/user/public_html”.
cd public_html/ Change the current working directory to public_html/, relative to
the current location which is “/home/user”. The full path of the new
working directory is “/home/user/public_html”.
cd .. Move to the parent directory of the current directory. This command
will make the current working directory “/home.
cd ~ Move to the user’s home directory which is “/home/username”.
The ‘~’ indicates the users home directory.
