Setting default path when opening a terminal session

rated 0 times [ 61] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 97660 / 2 Years ago, sat, march 5, 2022, 5:53:51

I am new to Ubuntu.

Whenever I open a terminal my current working directory /home/Varun (as found by typing pwd).

Is there any way I can make the terminal's path to be set as /home/Varun/Desktop/Java Files when it opens?

Just run the following command in your terminal:

echo "cd ~/Desktop/Java Files" >> ~/.bashrc

The above command will add a new line in your ~/.bashrc file that contain cd ~/Desktop/Java Files and that will change your default working directory to /home/Varun/Desktop/Java Files when you will open the terminal.

Reopen the terminal and you will see the difference.
