How do I move up and down the directory branch?

Hi Jessica Steel,

We appreciate your engagement with us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

To address your query about navigating back to the main Cats directory from Cats/CSS, here is a simplified explanation:

To return to the main Cats directory from Cats/CSS, you can use the following methods:

1. Using the cd command:
   • Open your terminal and type cd .., then press Enter. This command moves you up one directory level, placing you back in the Cats directory.
2. Using terminal autocompletion:
   • Start typing cd Cats and press Tab. If the Cats directory exists, the terminal will autocomplete the path. Press Enter to confirm and navigate to the Cats directory.

Both methods achieve the same result. cd .. is a standard command for moving up one level in the directory structure, while autocompletion provides a quicker option if you remember part of the directory name.
