Linux CLI - Navigating the File System

You have a nested directory structure: /home/user/projects/app. From /home/user/projects/app, which relative path correctly accesses the file /home/user/docs/readme.md?

A../docs/readme.md

B../../docs/readme.md

C../../../docs/readme.md

D./docs/readme.md

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate directory levels to move up
From /home/user/projects/app, '..' moves up one level. Two '..' moves up to /home/user.
Step 2: Append path to target file
After moving up two levels, append 'docs/readme.md' to reach the file.
Final Answer:
../../docs/readme.md -> Option B
Quick Check:
Two '..' from app leads to /home/user [OK]

Quick Trick: Count '..' to reach common ancestor directory [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Using too few '..' to reach target
Using './' which stays in current dir
Using too many '..' going above root
