What is Navigation Basics?
In Linux, navigation between directories and files is a fundamental, yet essential function that allows you to exploit the power of the command-line interface (CLI). Mastering the basic Linux navigation commands such as cd, pwd, ls, and tree enables you to flawlessly move from one point to another within the filesystem, display the list of files & directories, and understand your position relative to other system components.
