Hello,
I just read somewhere that you can open a folder directly with the terminal. However, after several searches and attempts, I still can't open any folder.
Can you help me?
Thank you in advance

Hello,
To open a folder, we can see that you are used to working with the graphical interface.
Actually, you mean to go into a folder.
cd /path/to/folder will take you into the folder
cd .. goes up to the parent folder
cd / goes up to the root, but a basic user won't be able to do much there.
cd ~ will take you to your default folder, usually /home/user
cd - takes you to the folder you were in before changing.
cd . does nothing.
Create a folder:
mkdir folder
delete a folder (empty)
mkdir folder.
Know exactly where you are in the directory tree:
pwd
See you soon.
