the command 'cd ~' will get you there .
The root directory is /. The home directory is /home/user.
It is the Home Directory.
The pwd command prints the working directory. The working directory is the directory you are "in", where operations on files that don't have an absolute path specified will be performed. For instance, if my working directory is /home/username/stuff, then the command echo "test" > test.txt would place the file test.txt in that directory.
cd /q2-jan14
In my Ubuntu terminal, I would type one of these two example commands (there are other commands, but I tend to mainly use the two below).cd change to home-directorypwd means display the path of the current directoryNote: pwd stands for print working directory.
"/" is the root directory in Linux. Make sure not to confuse this with the "/root" directory, which is the home directory for the user "root" (similar to "Administrator" on Windows)
Use the 'cd' command without any target; that always puts you in the home directory which becomes by default the working directory.
"cd" with no directory takes you to your home (login) directory. In a path, ~ (tilde) means your home directory, ~usr means the home directory of user usr. For example, "cp ~/foo ~john" copies file foo from your home directory to john's.
The root directory is the top level directory of the entire file system. Every branch starts from there. The current working directory is where you happen to be in the tree at the moment. If the root is always "/" and my process is in the directory /usr/local/bin/test/data, then the root directory is still "/" and my working directory is currently /usr/local/bin/test/data
it will be of the name which is selected by Govind.....
The tilde character (~) is a shortcut for the home directory of the currently logged-on user.
The Home directory is the most important one. All other directories, such as Documents, Pictures, Videos, and so on, stem from the Home directory.
