What is the pwd Command?

Syntax:
pwd
Example:
Command:
$ pwd
Output:
/home/user/Documents
Explanation:
- Running the pwd command displays the full path of the directory you are currently in.
- You might be inside a folder but not know its exact location. For example, you could be in /home/user/Documents.
- The pwd command shows this complete path and does not change anything; it only tells you your current location in the file system.
