Home Directory

A home directory, also known as a user home directory or home folder, is a unique directory that is set up for each user on a computer system. It serves as a personal workspace and contains the user's files, documents, settings, and configurations.

Sense 1: Computing

In computing, a home directory refers to the specific folder assigned to a user account on an operating system. It is typically named after the user's login ID or username and is used to organize and store the user's personal data and preferences.

Example:

By default, on Unix-based systems, the home directory for the user 'johndoe' would be located at '/home/johndoe/'.
