GNU/Linux Fedora Terminal Tutorial for Beginners

Changing Location

3. 3. Changing Folder

   Next practice the Change Directory directive
   Change to the Root Directory:

   cd /

   * Again find out how ‘cd‘ is an Abridgement for ‘Change Directory‘ *
   Then Go to /usr/bin:

   cd /usr/bin

   Now to Navigate to the Parent Use the ‘..‘!
   So Back to the root with:

   cd ../..

   (It’s like to say: ‘One Step Back and then One Step Back’ again)
   Finally, to Return Home is simple as:

   cd  

   Then to Verify you are in that Location Use:

   pwd

   In this case ‘pwd’ is a Shortcut for ‘Print Working Directory‘.
   Hey Congratulations! You achieved the First, Walk into the Linux Directory Tree :)

Furthermore, about Linux Terminology, there are 3 different Entities Appelled as ‘Root’:

• The System’s root: /
• The root Directory: /root
• The root User: the SuperAdmin than can Execute Any Command
