Dwarf Mine Directory Tree

Read the command, then click the directory node where you would end up.

How cd Works

cd means change directory. It moves your prompt to another folder.

.

Means the location you are already in.

..

Means the parent location, one level up.

~

A tilde means your home location, the top node shown as ~.

~/

A path like ~/dwarf_mine starts from home, no matter where you are now.

/

A slash separates names in a path, like workshop/camp/vault.
