Editing Cd (command) (section)

== Example ==
[[File:chdir example.png|center|framed|Section of a Unix filesystem showing a user's [[home directory]] (represented as {{code|~}}) with a file and three subdirectories.]]

Starting with working directory set to the user's home ({{code|~}}), command <code>[[ls]]</code> followed by {{code|cd games}} might produce the following:

<syntaxhighlight lang="console">
user@wikipedia:~$ ls
workreports games encyclopedia text.txt
user@wikipedia:~$ cd games
user@wikipedia:~/games$
</syntaxhighlight>

A similar session in Command Prompt might look like:

 C:\> dir
 workreports        <DIR>       Wed Oct 9th   9:01
 games              <DIR>       Tue Oct 8th  14:32
 encyclopedia       <DIR>       Mon Oct 1st  10:05
 text        txt           1903 Thu Oct10th  12:43
 C:\> cd games
 C:\games>
