README.md

Steps for changing the default path

1. Open the terminal

2. Digit the following line and press Enter once done

   echo "cd YOURPERSONALSTANDARDPATH" >> ~/.bashrc
   

   Restart the terminal and check the changes

Steps for updating / removing existing default path

3. Digit the following line (link docs about Nano text editor)

   nano ~/.bashrc
   

4. Scroll down with keyboards arrows, .bashrc is extremely sensible, do not touch the existing code

5. Find at the end of the file the default path (the purpose is to have only one default path)

6. Update the path and once done press CTRL+o (Write Out === Save changes)

7. To exit from Nano, press CTRL+z and once back in the terminal digit exit to end the editor and then restart it to check the changes.
