Essential Bash

Change to the home directory

suggest change

The default directory is the home directory ($HOME, typically /home/username), so cd without any directory takes you there 

cd

Or you could be more explicit: 

cd $HOME

A shortcut for the home directory is ~, so that could be used as well. 

cd ~
