Hi there!
You're asking about how to change your current directory, which is a great question for navigating the Linux file system!
The command to change your current directory is cd, which stands for "change directory".
For example:
- To change to a directory named
myfolder(if it exists in your current directory):cd myfolder - To go up one level to the parent directory:
cd .. - To go directly to your home directory:
cd # or cd ~ - To go to a specific path (e.g.,
/var/log):cd /var/log
This specific step, "Understanding Your Working Environment," doesn't ask you to change directories yet. It's focused on showing you where you currently are using pwd and ls. You'll likely learn more about cd in upcoming steps!
For now, please continue by running the commands in the current step:
pwd
echo ~
ls
ls ~
