cd: Go to the specified directory.
$ cd ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "cd ${path-to-directory}" is used to change the current working directory to the specified directory.

Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "cd" stands for "change directory".
  • "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that represents the actual path to the directory you want to navigate to. It could be the absolute path (e.g., /home/user/documents) or the relative path (e.g., ../folder).

By replacing "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path, you can navigate to a different directory within the file system.
