Best answer

Did you get lost in the flaws of the Linux directory structure and want to go back to your working directory?

Then just enter

cd $ HOME

and press [Return] .

This statement gets the home directory of your account from the environment variable HOME and puts you there directly.

With many Linux variants it's even shorter. Here the command is sufficient

cd ~

Our reader Ulrich Borgdorf has a quicker process:

cd and [Return] are sufficient.
