cd linux home directory

Go directly to home directory

The linux shell can be extremely powerful for people that have experience using its plethora of commands. Many tasks can be completed much quicker than using a GUI. Each user that logs into the linux shell has a home directory. To traverse to the home directory we use the following command:

cd ~

Very easy and very simple. The key to using the linux shell is to practice. After a while a lot of the commands will become natural, just like pressing the keys on a keyboard.
