In terminal (bash), should I be in a folder to move it to another? In a directory named World, I've been asked to move a folder within it--South_America--to another folder also within World--North_America. 1. I can't figure out if I should be in South_America or one level up. 2. Wherever it is that I should be, I don't know what code to write. Thanks (I hope)!
Assuming You are in World directory (check with pwd command) and dir tree looks like:

World
 |___ South_America
 |
 |___ North_America


You simply do:

mv South_America North_America/


When You are in South_America already, You can:

mv ../South_America ../North_America/
