To enter your user's Desktop directory, run cd ~/Desktop (the ~ is expanded into your user's home directory). If your Desktop directory doesn't exist, you can create it via mkdir ~/Desktop.

cd Desktop/ Goes to the Desktop directory if you are in your home directory.

cd - Goes back to previous directory.

cd / Take you to the root directory.

cd ~/Desktop Will take you to your Desktop Directory no matter where you are.
