Project $2-7$

Navigating a file system using the dot and dot dot options can save you typing time. In this project, you practice using both conventions. Make certain you are logged in to your own account for this project and not as root.

To use dot and dot dot to change your working directory:

$1.$ If you are not in your home directory, type cd and press Enter.

$2.$ Type cd $.$ and press Enter. Because the $.($dot$)$ references your current directory, the system did not change your working location.

$3.$ Type cd $..$ and press Enter. The system takes you to the parent directory, which is $/$home$.$

$4.$ Type cd $..$ and press Enter. The system takes you to the root file system directory $(/).$ Type cd and press Enter. The system takes you to your home directory.
