cd: Go up to the parent of the current directory.
$ cd ..
try on your machine

The command "cd .." is used to navigate to the parent directory or the directory that is one level above the current directory.

For example, if the current directory is "/home/user/Documents", running "cd .." will navigate to "/home/user". The ".." represents the parent directory.
