changing directory quickly without cd ..
Hi,

I am in /home/development/project/abc directory. Now I want to remove one file which is kept in /trial/dev/<file> directory.
I would like to do it in one command.

I tried changing directory in one command like:
pwd
/home/development/project/abc

cd ~/trial/dev/
bash: no command found

What command should I use to achieve this?
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Code:
 
cd /trial/dev/
