+## `qmk cd`
+
+This command opens a new shell in your `qmk_firmware` directory.
+
+Note that if you are already somewhere within `QMK_HOME` (for example, the `keyboards/` folder), nothing will happen.
+
+To exit out into the parent shell, simply type `exit`.
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```
+qmk cd
+```
+
## `qmk console`
This command lets you connect to keyboard consoles to get debugging messages. It only works if your keyboard firmware has been compiled with `CONSOLE_ENABLE=yes`.
