Methods of changing the current working directory
Use the cd command along with the directory name to change the files. Then, to double-check the new route, print the existing working directory again.
One may, for example, change the “documents” directory to an existing documents directory in their home directory and then verify that the new working directory has been changed. Since Bash knows the entire path of the current working directory, one can use the cd.. command to return to the parent directory of any current directory. One may also use the cd~ command (the character known as the tilde) to return to their home directory at any time.
