CD(nged)

💫 CD(nged) — the nged directory-hopping era 💫

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is the cd page from the nged manual — that's the BRL-CAD user commands crew 🎀. Yes, the same cd you know and love, but make it mged.

✨ NAME ✨

cd — changes the directory to the given path. that's it, that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cd {path}

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So cd changes the directory to the given path. simple. iconic. no cap.

The path you feed it can lowkey be a folder sitting right there in your current directory, or it can be a full path if you're feeling main-character energy and want to teleport somewhere specific 💖.

Also?? double periods (..) work, and they walk you up one level — yes, the classic escape hatch, we love her 🙈.

if you ever get lost and need to check where you actually landed, go see the pwd command. she'll tell you. 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Example 1 — slide into a folder that's right here

Change directory to the given folder located in the current directory.

mged> cd test_folder

This changes the current directory to a folder named test_folder that is located within the current directory. cute, local, done ✨

---

Example 2 — full path, full glamour

Change directory to the given folder using the full path.

mged> cd C:/geometry/test_folder

This changes the current directory to a folder named test_folder located at C:/geometry/test_folder. long path, zero fear, we ate 🔥

---

Example 3 — back it up, back it up

Change directory to the folder above the current folder.

mged> cd ..

This changes the current directory to the folder above the current folder. the .. special move strikes again 🧚
