'''{{code|cd}}''' is a [[Shell (computing)|shell]] [[command (computing)|command]] that changes the [[working directory]]. It is available in many shells and other [[application software|applications]] that maintain a working directory. In some contexts, the command can perform actions other than change directory. Some environments provide the change directory feature via a different command name such as {{code|chdir}}.
