1. What command is used to change the current working directory at the command line?

Expert Solution

In Linux, to change the current working directory at the command line you could use the below command:
cd

"cd" is the acronym for "change directory". An example command to move one directory or folder upwards into the current working folder or directory's parent folder, type in the below command at the command prompt:
$ cd ..

If you have a directory name called "Test" in the current working directory. Use the below command to go into the "Test" directory. Example:
cd Test

If you want to navigate to your home directory, type in
cd
cd ~

If you want to navigate to the previous directory you were in, type in the below command:
cd -
If you want to navigate into the root directory, type in the command:
cd /

You can also provide the absolute path to the directory you want to navigate to in case you are in a different drive or directory other than the home directory by typing in the below command:
cd /home/user/Videos

Where the "user" is the name of the user logged into the Linux machine.
