Cd

cd stands for Change Directory. It Changes your working Directory! Very Simple.

Relevant Usage at Saier Lab
Change Directory. Always useful. Here's some uses that you may also find nice:

Go Home
cd ~ or cd Both work to send you to your Home folder. This will most likely be "/Users/saierlab/" or something similar. Your desktop and downloads folder are in your home folder, so this is a good place to start.

Parent Directory
cd .. This command brings you to the parent folder, which is the folder that the folder you're looking at is in. If you're on the Desktop (/Users/saierlab/Desktop) and you want to go back to /Users/saierlab, just use the "cd .." command.
