Which command is used to change the current working directory?

Mv Mkdir Cd Cp

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Changing the current working directory means moving your shell's focus to a different folder in the filesystem. The command used for this is the one that updates where you are in the directory hierarchy: you type cd followed by a path to switch to that location. cd stands for change directory, and it is what you use to navigate around rather than manipulating files themselves. For example, cd /home/user/projects takes you to that directory, and cd .. moves you up one level. In contrast, other common commands perform different tasks: mv moves or renames files, mkdir creates a new directory, and cp copies files. You can confirm your location with pwd and list contents with ls.
