In Terminal, what's the difference between “cd /” and “cd ~”?
Question
I don't understand the difference between these two. They both seem to take me to the root directory. Are there differences?

cd ~ takes you to the home directory
cd / takes you to the root directory
these will be the same if you are running it as root

“ cd〜”通常将您带到登录用户的主目录。
