I have a directory named -H and would like to change the name of it

Question

I am taking a class at Pluralsight and made the mistake of typing 'express -H' as instructed. Now I have a dir named -H and Ubuntu will not let me access it or otherwise deal with it. I would like to rename it - any help?

To rename it (to foobar.dir):

mv ./-H foobar.dir

to access it:

cd ./-H

I would suggest you to look at this answer to get more idea on this.
