  • Linux Tutorial Series – 27 – The pwd command

    Here is the video version, if you prefer it:

    pwd prints the name of the current working directory. This is useful when changing directories with cd and you want to know where you are. For example:

    mislav@mislavovo-racunalo:~/Documents$ cd django-rest-tutorial

    mislav@mislavovo-racunalo:~/Documents/django-rest-tutorial$ pwd

    /home/mislav/Documents/django-rest-tutorial

    pwd stands for “print working/current directory”. (“pwd(1) – Linux man page,” n.d.)⁠

    Hope this was useful!
