How to change current working directory?

To change the current working directory in Linux, you can use the cd (change directory) command. Here’s how to do it:

1. Basic Usage: To change to a specific directory, use:

   cd /path/to/directory
   

2. Relative Path: If you want to change to a directory relative to your current location, you can do:

   cd directory_name
   

3. Parent Directory: To move up one level to the parent directory, use:

   cd ..
   

4. Home Directory: To change to your home directory, simply use:

   cd ~
   

   or just:

   cd
   

5. Using Absolute Path: You can specify the full path to change to any directory:

   cd /home/username/documents
   

6. Check Current Directory: After changing directories, you can confirm your current working directory by using:

   pwd
   

These commands will help you navigate the file system effectively.
