Updated: November 10, 2026

1. [Moving Around: cd, .. and ~](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/bash-moving-around) (Novice): cd moves the terminal into another folder, by a folder's name, up one level with .., home with ~ or anywhere with a full path, and cd - takes you back to where you just were.
2. [Let the Shell Type for You: Tab](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/bash-tab-completion) (Novice): Press Tab and the shell finishes a file or folder name for you, press it twice to see every name that fits, and let it type the backslashes that a name with spaces needs.
