    When I'm doing things in powershell (windows), what am I doing?

    I'm trying to walk through Learn Python the Hard Way, and right now the instructor is telling me to 'always go home' if I get lost in powershell.

    The implication is that if I'm typing in commands, I'm leaving somewhere, within the context of my computers.

    When I type something like

    "pwd

    cd ~"

    What am I actually doing?

    Sorry for the stupid question, but this part of programming always trips me up. I just need to push myself to start and I know I can be okay at it.

    EDIT: ahaha holy shit, this is just looking through the directories in my computer. When I write

    "mkdir temp/stuff"

    I'm creating folder stuff inside of folder temp.

    Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
