Windows - Changing Directories in the CLI

pwd or ​print working directory tells you which directory you’re currently in

 ​If we want to change the directory that we’re in, ​we can use the cd or change directory command…To use this command we’ll also need to specify the path that ​we want to change to. ​  - Remember, this path can be absolute, which means it starts from this drive letter and ​spells out the entire path. ​  - On the flip side, it can be relative meaning that we only use part of the path ​to describe how to get to where we want to go relative to where we’re currently are.   There’s a shortcut to get to the level above your current directory, cd.. ​ The dot dot is considered a relative path because it will take ​you up one level relative to where you are.

 This time, let’s go to the desktop folder using the new command we learned. ​We know that the desktop and ​document directories are under the home directory so we could run cd.., ​then cd desktop but there’s actually an easier way to write this. ​Cd..backslash desktop. ​Let’s check pwd one more time, pwd now shows that we’re in the desktop folder.  another cool shortcut for cd that you can use is cd tilde
