29,154 PointsWhich of these commands will NOT take you to your home directory, assuming your username is treehouse?
I do think the answer is 'cd /home/treehouse' because it looks like heading for the folder named treehouse instead of home. Please share some wisdom for my confusion... thx!

. so if your username is treehouse your home directory is /home/treehouse
typing any of these commands will take you to your home directory assuming your username is treehouse:
$ cd /home/treehouse
$ cd $HOME
$ cd ~
the ~
is just a shortcut for the home directory and $HOME is a variable whose value is the home directory
