cd

Change directory.

Examples:

cd

By simply typing cd it will take you to your home directory. You could also go to your home directory by typing:

cd ~

cd /home/fred

This command would take you to the directory fred located in the home directory. If you were in the /home/fred directory and knew that there was another directory in /home/fred called work you could enter that directory one of two ways:

cd /home/fred/work

or

cd work

Notice that there is no leading /.
