File system - Absolute and Relative path

We have already seen how to navigate the file system and how we can easily navigate to the parent directory. Also we have seen, we do not have to navigate from root(/) directory to navigate to the parent directory. Now we will see how we can go from one directory to another directory without starting navigation from the root(/) directory.

Absolute Path  - We have seen that we can navigate from root(/) directory to any directory by navigating through its branch. Any directory on the Linux / Unix system is actually child of the root directory. So when we run the pwd command, the output starts from root(/) directory all the time. This output is the directory's absolute path. This means that the path begins with root(/) and navigates up to that directory. Let's check two different outputs from Linux Mint and Free BSD of the pwd command of different directories -

Free BSD


Linux Mint

totan@Home-Computer ~ $ pwd
/home/totan
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/A R Rahman $ pwd
/mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/A R Rahman

Knowing the absolute path of a directory, we can easily navigate to that directory from any directory. With an example we will try to understand this -

totan@Home-Computer ~/notes $ pwd
/home/totan/notes
totan@Home-Computer ~/notes $ cd /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam/
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam $ pwd
/mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam
totan@Home-Computer ~/notes $ cd /home/totan/notes
totan@Home-Computer ~/notes $ pwd
/home/totan/notes
totan@Home-Computer ~/notes $ cd /home/totan/notes
totan@Home-Computer ~/notes $ pwd
/home/totan/notes

Relative Path  - With absolute Path We can easily navigate from any directory to any other directory, but it is very difficult to remember or type the large directory paths all the time, so we will look at the other way to navigate the file system. 
Suppose I have heard the song 'Nupur Baje' of Balam from /mnt/sda3/media/audio/Bengali/ directory and now want to listen to 'Latika's Theme' from Slumdog Millionaire movie, then I need to navigate to the directory as follows-

totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam $ cd /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/A\ R\ Rahman/Slumdog\ Millionaire/
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/A R Rahman/Slumdog Millionaire $

Typing the absolute path for navigating directories is very difficult and time-consuming and in reality, we need not to navigate to a directory from the root directory, so we will learn about relative path for our convenience. The relative path means the path that navigates from the current directory and navigates to another directory. Let's look at the previous example but this time with relative path-
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam $ pwd
/mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam $ cd ../../A\ R\ Rahman/Slumdog\ Millionaire/
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/A R Rahman/Slumdog Millionaire $ pwd
/mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/A R Rahman/Slumdog Millionaire
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/A R Rahman/Slumdog Millionaire $

First we were at  /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam  directory and from there we would like to go to  /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/A R Rahman/Slumdog Millionaire directory. Now notice, the parent of the Balam directory is Bengali, whose parent is Audio, again the Audio directory's one child is 
A R Rahman, whose child is Slumdog MillionaireIn other words Balam directory and Slumdog Millionaire directory's ancestor is Audio directory, we used this relation and we have already learned that if we type cd .. we can navigate to the parent directory. Using these information, we formed the relative path. Now, we'll describe how the relative path works. So the first .. of our command will take us to Bengali directory, from there the .. will take us to the Audio directory, from there we will navigate to the directory A\ R\ Rahman. If you don't understand A R Rahman, then know that A R Rahman means A R Rahman in our case, we will discuss this later in detail. We now navigate from the A R Rahman directory to the Slumdog Millionaire directory, where my favourite soundtrack is present. 

Now we will take a look at another type of relative path related to navigation, where we do not navigate to a parent directory, rather we are navigating to the child of current directory -

totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media $ pwd
/mnt/sda3/Media
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media $ cd ./Audio/Bengali/Balam/
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam $ pwd
/mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam $

See I've used another shortcut here '.'. It actually means the current directory. That is, if we have to 
navigate to the child of the current directory, then we can use ' '. 

Without any shortcut also we can navigate child directories -
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media $ pwd
/mnt/sda3/Media
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media $ cd Audio/Bengali/Balam/
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam $ pwd
/mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam $

That is, if we want to navigate to the child directory of any directory, we will navigate to that directory by just typing the command cd <directory_name>. The question might arise in your mind, if we can navigate child directories without any shortcut, then what is it used for ./. To get an answer to this question, you have to wait a little longer. For now, know that both are used and you can use any one as per your requirement or convenience.

Let us now see some examples related to navigation (using both Absolute Path and Relative Path) -

/mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam
totan@Home-Computer /mnt/sda3/Media/Audio/Bengali/Balam $

Actually, we can navigate to the same directory on the Linux / Unix system in many ways, hopefully this is a lot clearer in the last example. Not just navigating, with the help of Absolute and Relative Path, we can run any command on any directory from any directory. We will check that with the ls -l command by running it on any other directory from our home directory -
totan@Home-Computer ~ $ cd ~
totan@Home-Computer ~ $ pwd
/home/totan
totan@Home-Computer ~ $ ls -l /

See, with the help of Absolute and Relative Path we have checked what files or directories are present in different directories from our home directoryNot just one or two commands, with the help of absolute path and relative path we can run all commands in other directories. To know about the Linux / Unix system, it is recommended to have a clear idea of the file system. After having a solid foundation of Linux / Unix file system, we will move on to our next step. So, a thorough practice of file system navigation is strongly recommended.
