Editing Cd (command) (section)

=== Common ===
Features that are commonly found for any change directory command:
* {{code|cd path/to/dir}} For a relative path (no leading slash), the path is appended to the working directory path; moving the context deeper into the directory tree hierarchy; for example, if the working directory is {{code|/usr}}, then {{code|cd bin}} changes the working directory to {{code|/usr/bin}}
* {{code|cd /path/to/dir}} For an absolute path (leading slash), the working directory is replaced with the specified path; for example, {{code|cd /bin}} sets the working directory to {{code|/bin}}
* {{code|cd ..}} Moves the directory tree context up one directory; for example, starting at {{code|/usr/bin/tmp}}, {{code|cd ..}} changes the working directory to {{code|/usr/bin}}
* {{code|cd .}} Does not change the working directory but is useful to recover after a directory is recreated by another process
* {{code|cd}} With no arguments, the command changes the working directory to the user's home directory; exception: Command Prompt reports the working directory path
