What is the home directory of linux

The Linux home directory is the user's home directory, which is specified when you add the user. Home directories are different for different users. ~ represents the home directory in Linux. Enter the cd ~ command in the terminal to return to the home directory, as long as there is a user directory.

Directory is a special file that the Linux system organizes files.

The user home directory is created by the system administrator when he adds users (which can be changed later). Each user has his own home directory, and the home directories of different users are generally different.

When a user first logs in to the system, its working directory is the user's home directory, usually the same as the user's login name.

Users can refer to their own home directory with a ~ character.

For example, commands

/ home/WANG\ $cat ~ / class/software_1

And the following command

/ home/WANG\ $cat / home/WANG/class/software_1

It means the same thing. Shell will replace the ~ character with the user's home directory name. After the directory hierarchy is created, the user can put the relevant files into the corresponding directory, thus realizing the organization of the files.
