Your home directory

Every user has a home directory. Your home directory is the root in the tree containing all of your files. When you login, you are initially in your home directory. If you type cd with no directory name after it, you are moved to your home directory. To find out the pathname of your home directory, cd to your home directory and then use the pwd command to see the pathname.
