Hi this is my first time writing bash and I'm trying to practice creating a bash script and am attempting to do the following:
- Using absolute path the script changes directory to your home directory.
- Next it verifies whether a subdirectory called project exists. If it does not exist it creates that directory.
- Next it changes directory moving into the project subdirectory using relative path.
I'm already stuck on the first step:
#!/bin/bashcdif [ -d ./project ]then echo hi it exists!elseecho it doesn't exist!cd project/I would appreciate if someone could help! thank you so much!

cd by itself changes the current working directory to the home directory. See man cd for other uses of this command.
You can use the $HOME environment variable. Bash also recognizes a tilde (~) as home.
