I'm using Cygwin to simulate Linux environment on my Windows 7 machine for learning some basic commands and functions. Right now, I am just practicing moving through directories and different file pathways I've created. I have read that I can move backward (or upward) in my file path by typing cd . ., but this is not working. For example, my pwd: /home/temp/stuff/things, but when I type in cd . . on the next command it reads the same pwd. Am I doing something wrong or am I misunderstanding the cd . . command?

Can you clarify the process you are following a bit? (use of backticks may help for formatting) How are you checking the PWD, for example? – HalosGhost – 2014-06-06T04:54:29.843
You should not have a space between the dots in your
cdcommand. It should becd ..--cd<space><dot><dot>– savanto – 2014-06-06T04:56:46.313No worries! Glad to help. – savanto – 2014-06-06T06:53:50.527
