# Change The Current Directory For psql
|
||||
|
||||
When you start a `psql` session, your current directory is what `psql` will
|
||||
use as its current directory. This is important for meta-commands that use
|
||||
relative paths based on the current directory -- for instance, the `\i`
|
||||
meta-command for importing files.
|
||||
|
||||
You can change the current directory within a `psql` session using the `\cd`
|
||||
meta-command.
|
||||
|
||||
If my current directory is `home` and there is a `sql` directory in `home,
|
||||
these commands will do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
\! pwd
|
||||
/home
|
||||
\cd sql
|
||||
\! pwd
|
||||
/home/sql
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `\cd` meta-command even supports tab completion relative to the current
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also change to your home directory using just `\cd`.
