So, I am using a windows emulated bash shell, as installing Linux via VM takes too long and results in a very slow customer that I'm NOT going to deal with. So, for now I'm using Windows' bash shell.



So, I type the command pwd which gives me the path /home/shibuya.



so, I want to mess with the cd~/home/shibuya path, but when I type that it says "no such file or directory."



I also tried cd../shibuya.



again, no such file or directory.



I tried cd~shibuya no such file or directory.



This honestly made me want to growl like Alex Jones, but I suppressed such a base instinct. Can wiser heads assist this obvious Linux n00b?
