+# The `cd` command
+
+The `cd` command is used to change the current working directory *(i.e., in which the current user is working)*. The "cd" stands for "**c**hange **d**irectory" and it is one of the most frequently used commands in the Linux terminal.
+
+The `cd` command is often combined with the `ls` command (see chapter 1) when navigating through a system, however, you can also press the `TAB` key two times to list the contents of the new directory you just changed to.
+
+### Examples of uses:
+
+1. Change the current working directory:
+```
+cd <specified_directory_path>
+```
+
+2. Change the current working directory to the home directory:
+```
+cd ~
+```
+OR
+```
+cd
+```
+
+3. Change to the previous directory:
+```
+cd -
+```
+This will also echo the absolute path of the previous directory.
+
+4. Change the current working directory to the system's root directory:
+```
+cd /
+```
+
+### &#x1F4A1; Quick Tips
+
+Adding a `..` as a directory will allow you to move "up" from a folder:
+```
+cd ..
+```
+This can also be done multiple times! For example, to move up three folders:
+```
+cd ../../../
+```
+
+### Syntax:
+
+```
+cd [OPTIONS] directory
+```
