+Using cd Command in Linux
+======
+
+The cd command in Linux is used for changing directories. cd is actually short for change directories.
+
+It's one of the [essential Linux commands][1] that you must know.
+
+Using the cd command is quite simple:
+
+```
+cd path_to_directory
+```
+
+It cannot go any simple than this, can it?
+
+However, it's the path part that you should understand to easily travel through the [filesystem][2] without getting confused.
+
+Here's a quick recall of absolute and relative paths.
+
+![Absolute vs relative path in Linux][3]
+
+Let's see some examples of using the cd command.
+
+### Use absolute path to change the directory
+
+It will be easier to understand visually. Look at the image below.
+
+![Absolute path travel to the python directory][4]
+
+My current location is my home directory (`/home/abhishek`) and I have to go to the `python` directory inside the `scripts` directory.
+
+Let's say I want to use the absolute path. The absolute path to the pyth`/home/abhishek/scripts/python`.
+
+```
+cd /home/abhishek/scripts/python
+```
+
+![cd command with absolute path][5]
+
+### Use relative path to change directories
+
+Let's take the same example but this time, I'll take the relative path.
+
+![Relative path example][6]
+
+The relative path to the `python` directory from my home directory is `scripts/python`. Let's use this:
+
+```
+cd scripts/python
+```
+
+![cd command with relative path][7]
+
+### Go up the directory
+
+So far, you are going down the 'flow'. What if you have to go up a directory?
+
+Let's say, you are in `/home/abhishek/scripts/python` and you have to up a directory to `scripts`?.
+
+![][8]
+
+Using the absolute path is always an option but it is quite lengthy. Instead, you can use the special directory notation `..`. The double dots (..) mean parent directory or up a directory. Single dot (.) means the current directory.
+
+```
+cd ..
+```
+
+Here's an example:
+
+![cd up a directory][9]
+
+You can use the `..` to travel up the path in the Linux filesystem hierarchy.
+
+Suppose I am in the `python` directory in the above image and want to go to the `code` directory. Here's what I could do:
+
+```
+cd ../../code
+```
+
+![Go up the directory using cd command][10]
+
+### Go to the home directory
+
+If you feel lost in all these directory travels and want to go back home, there are so many simple shortcuts.
+
+In fact, the simplest of them is to use the cd command without any option.
+
+```
+cd
+```
+
+That will take you back to your home directory from anywhere on the filesystem.
+
+Alternatively, you can use the `~` notation which means home directory.
+
+```
+cd ~
+```
+
+![Use cd to go back home][11]
+
+### Go to the root directory
+
+Though you won't use it as often as the previous one, it is still good to know.
+
+If you want to go back to the root directory from where the filesystem begins, use this:
+
+```
+cd /
+```
+
+There is no 'magic' involved here. `/` denotes root when used at the beginning of a path. Don't confuse it with path separators.
+
+![Paths in Linux][12]
+
+### Switch back to the previous directory
+
+This is a lifesaver or should I say timesaver. When you are deep inside a directory structure and then go to another directory and then you feel the need to go back to the previous location, this shortcut helps.
+
+```
+cd -
+```
+
+Not clear yet? Let me show an example.
+
+I am in the location `/etc/apt/sources.list.d`. From here, I go to `/home/abhishek/scripts/python` to work on my code. And then I realized that I have to check something again in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d` directory.
+
+The usual approach would be to do this which makes me type all the path again:
+
+![Go back to previous directory][13]
+
+But the smart approach is to use this:
+
+![Use cd - to go back to previous directory][14]
+
+See, no need to type the lengthy path again. Works wonder!
+
+### 🏋️ Exercise time
+
+If you want to practice the cd command, here's a little practice exercise for you.
+
+- Open a terminal and go to the `/var/log` directory. [Check the directory contents][15]. What do you see?
+- Now, go to `/var` directory. This is up a directory.
+- From here, go back to your home directory.
+
+And that's good enough content for you to get familiar with the cd command. Here are some other important commands you should know about.
+
+Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.
