The cd (Change Directory) command allows me to transition from child and parent directories. To do this type cd with the name of the directory you want to move into.
The cd .. Command allows me to move from the current directory that I am in to the parent directory of the current directory.
Cd - switches you to the previous directory that you were in
cd / takes you to the root directory
cd ~ take you to your home directory from wherever you are.
Using the absolute path of a directory allows you to navigate to that directory regardless of what directory you are in.
The relative path allows you to navigate to a directory that is relative to the directory you are currently in.
