# 1. **Print Working Directory (pwd):** Use `pwd` to display your current location in the filesystem. It shows the absolute path from the root directory (e.g., `/home/user`). Absolute paths are crucial for scripts. 2. **Change Directory (cd):** - To move up one level (e.g., from `/home/user/docs` to `/home/user`), use `cd ..`. - To go directly to a specific directory (e.g., `/home/user/music`), provide the absolute path: `cd /home/user/music`. - To return home from any location, use `cd ~`. - [10 Linux commands for navigating the file system - FOSS Linux.](https://www.fosslinux.com/136854/10-linux-commands-for-navigating-the-file-system.htm.)
