Terminal Icon

Finding out which directory you are in

When you are logged into the Terminal command line, you are always located in a particular directory. The default starting location is your home directory.

To see where you are, enter the pwd (print working directory) command.

For example, if you're in the directory Utilities folder in the Applications folder, you'll see: /Applications/Utilities

For more information on pwd, refer to the pwd man page by entering: man pwd
