I'm trying to figure out how to move a folder that sits in the root of my disk (what do you call that, home?) to a subdirectory.  I am not cd'd to the root (again not sure of the terminology).When I say root, here is what I think it means.  So what would I call Macintosh the name of my disk when talking in terms of the file system and UNIX?So, for example, I'm currently cd'd to /user/[myprofilename]/code and I want to move a file that lives at the root into the code folder.  Or maybe I'm not cd'd to the code folder and I am in some unrelated folder but still want to move that themes folder to within that code folder.  In other words, if I'm not cd'd into the same directory as the themes folder (root) how would one easily move that from wherever you cd'd to currently?Example I tried to do something like this but you it doesn't work:$ mv ../themes .I also tried:$ mv ~/themes .Any ideas? UPDATEI just tried /themes . and it says permission denied... but that seems to want to rename /themes to ./themes, at least that's what the message says?  I don't want to rename the folder I want to move it so I still appear to be going about it the wrong way?
Move folder from root of Hard Disk to Current Directory
bash;shell;permissions;directory;filenames
The root directory is /. The themes directory in the root directory is /themes. A path that starts with / is called an absolute path; it starts from the root directory. A path that doesn't start with / is called a relative path; it starts from the current directory of the program where you use it. For example, a bare file name with no directory indication is a relative path. dir/subdir/somefile is also a relative path.~ is an abbreviation for your home directory. That's the directory where you can put what you want. Each user account has its own home directory. Your home directory something like /Users/bob. Since ~ is an abbreviation which is expanded by the shell ~/something is an absolute path it's /Users/bob/something.Users don't have the permission to modify file outside of their home directory. Use sudo to run a command with elevated privileges, including the privilege to modify files anywhere.sudo mv /themes .
