Commandline shortcut for current directory similar to ~ for home directory?
- by NES
When i use the cp or move command in a terminal window,
i'm currently with bash in a certain folder like this.
NES@server:~/Desktop/dir1$
And now i wanna copy a file from here ~/anotherdir/dir2 into the current
chosen folder in bash (dir1) i would use the command
cp ~/anotherdir/dir2/file ~/Desktop/dir1
does a shortcut string exist to refer to the current chosen directory?
So that in this example i don't have to provide the full path to the target dir, but
the command knows it should use the current chosen directory in bash?
i.e. as ~ stands for the home directory?
