CD(1)                      Commands and Applications                     CD(1)

NAME

       cd - change working directory (gsh builtin)

SYNOPSIS

       cd [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION

       directory becomes the new working directory.  If cd is used without ar‐
       guments, it returns you to your $HOME directory.

       Because a new process is created to execute each command, cd  would  be
       ineffective  if  it  were written as a normal command.  It is therefore
       recognized and executed by the shells.

SEE ALSO

       pwd(1)
