Accessing htdocs via terminal

Sorry posted this in PHP as well...

This is slightly a combination of git and PHP, but if I have my shirts4mike project in Applications/MAMP/htdocs how do I access it via terminal to start pushing changes to github?

I Basically can't do $ CD applications/MAMP it doesn't let me access the mamp application

Found the answer for anyone who is interested.

You need to change directory from user to computer by doing $ CD / Then this allows you to access the full applications list and the above code of $ CD applications/MAMP/htdocs will work.

If you are wanting to find the location of a folder or file on mac:

Right click on folder/file - click get info

There will be the link under General - Where. All you have to do then is:

$ cd paste in the link
