cd (Change Directory): The cd command in Linux is used to change the current working directory in the shell. This command allows you to navigate between directories in the file system.

Basic Usage:

• cd /path/to/directory: Changes the current directory to the specified path.
• cd ..: Moves up one directory level (to the parent directory).
• cd ~ or cd: Changes to the home directory of the current user.
• cd -: Switches back to the previous directory you were in.
