How to change directory in Linux terminal

Best/Tutorial

In the Linux terminal, you can change the current working directory using the cd command.

Here's how you can use the cd command to change to a different directory:

cd path/to/directory

where path/to/directory is the path of the directory you want to change to.

For example, to change to the /home directory, you would use the following command:

cd /home

You can also use the following shortcuts:

  • cd ..: Change to the parent directory.
  • cd ~: Change to your home directory.
  • cd -: Change to the previous directory.
