Your solutions are equally invalid even if they can be executed - likely with a different error than what you are seeing now. The current command is symbolic in nature since where in the local filesystem tree src/tutorial exists is unknown. If this is "fixed" at all, so that it is a valid and useful command, the change would be to simply make src/tutorial a relative path: cd src/tutorial I personally find no confusion with the existing code, which points out that the where you cd to requires being in the right initial location, but would accept a purely relative path. I would not accept randomly adding relative ancestor navigation since the only reason it is being suggested is due to misunderstanding the intent of the original. David J.
