Introduction
In this session, we have covered an overview of the most common commands to work with directories : pwd, cd, ls, mkdir, rmdir. These commands are available on any Linux [or Unix] system. We have also discussed the absolute and relative paths and path completion in the bash shell.
pwd
Displays the full path-name for the current directory. Open a command line interface [like gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm, or a tty] and type pwd.
cd
You can change your current directory [working directory] with the cd command.
