How do you make Terminal write straight to your desktop (or whatever directory you want) as per your tutorial? I'm currently using 'cd' to get Terminal to look at a particular folder
Thanks

if u Run cd or ~ it will take you to your home directory e.g
/Users/JacobLee
use pwd command to view the current directory that u are inside. if u in the home or users directory u can use
cd Desktop/
to change ur current directory (Users/JacobLee) to the desktop.
pwd from this directory will result in : Users/JacobLee/Desktop
USE cd when u want to navigate from one folder to another
USE pwd to view/print the working (current) directory u are current working (inside).
