## Understanding paths
TODO
Paths are the base of the structure of your operating system. You have to think of it like a tree (there is even a command to show you the whole structure of your folders called `tree` -- try it out!).
For example:
```
home folder
| sub folder
| | sub sub folder
| | file in sub sub folder.txt
| second sub folder
```
Your home folder (`/home/your_username`) is usually abreaviated by `~`. So for example the "Documents" folder in your home folder is marked as `~/Documents`. This is how the structure works for the example above:

home folder/sub folder/sub sub folder/file in sub sub folder.txt
