Topic Progress:

To go to the parent directory (the one just above your current directory in the directory tree), type cd .. . ^[feedback]

paul@debian8$ pwd
/usr/share/games
paul@debian8$ cd ..
paul@debian8$ pwd
/usr/share

To stay in the current directory, type cd . 😉 We will see useful use of the . character representing the current directory later. ^[feedback]
