So why wont my CD command work in my Kali linux terminal?
If a pathname does not start with ‘~’ or ‘/‘ then the path you are entering is always relative to your current working directory. To find your current working directory, type pwd. Note: you can not go backwards with the cd command if the pathname is relative, so if you are in /home/user then you can’t type ‘cd home’ because than it will try to send you to /home/username/home You can fix this by typing an absolute path. An absolute path always begins with a ‘/‘. So to cd into /home from /home/username, you type ‘cd /home’ More on reddit.com
